About Jitka Ertelova

I am a 35-year-old single mother who lives in Chodov, a small town in the Karlovy Vary Region, Czech Republic. In 2016, I graduated with a master´s degree in English and American literature from the Faculty of Arts, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. Following my graduation, I began to work at a law firm.

My passion for photography began after undergoing the final eye surgery in 2007. I am still lazy-eyed, and have astigmatism and high myopia, but thanks to the procedures, I wake up without the urge to find glasses, put it on so to be capable of seeing the world around me.

I do my best to keep my creativity and passion alive despite my busy schedule, balancing the work duties with taking care of my 4-year-old son.
