"Just like in photography, light plays a very important role in the operating room as well." The set of black-and-white documentary portraits "Colleagues" was created completely spontaneously: at work while working. "When I saw how the light glided over their coats, how the glare from the tools and gloves was reflected on their faces, and on top of that the emotions and concentration on the performance! It was impossible not to take a picture. I like to take pictures of my colleagues and I thank them for that."

I'm a nurse who likes to take pictures. I have been involved in photography since 2007. I attended several workshops. for example with Anotnín Kratochvíl, Jan Pohribný, Jiri Turek and Jan Šibík. I co-founded the photographic group "28mm", the Facebook group Foto - Líšen and a registered association of the same name, of which I am the chairwoman. I am a member of the Club of Moravian Photographers Brno. I have several group and individual exhibitions and international photography awards.
