Josef Sudek

Josef Sudek (1896-1976) has often been called the poet of Prague, and indeed that city was central to his photographic oeuvre, in both its cityscape and surrounding landscape views. Sudek was also fond of photographing intimate still lifes of views around his home, such as his window sill. He is admired for his rich tonal palette, especially in the shadow zones, and for his portrayals of light itself as a substance, through atmospheric effects.
