About Vojtech Darvik Maca

In the past, I used to photograph commercially for the film industry but for the last ten years I have been specializing in documentary and reportage. I travel mainly around Central and Eastern Europe, in addition also Turkey and Africa.

My goal is to give people insight into the essence of captured stories. Through the camera lens I depict serious social, cultural and political issues of nowadays world - specifically civic demonstrations, refugee crisis, poverty, people living on the margins of society or with some kind of disability. To a certain extent we are getting used to isolate ourselves in our own comfort zones but I believe that a strong visual experience can help us doubt those routines and awaken much needed feelings of empathy and solidarity.
