NewBorn is an augmented reality book, which completes one year of work on my photography series of the same name. It is a small limited edition of 100 hand-crafted pieces and the photographs inside are digitally extended when using a special smartphone app called Artivive. NewBorn is a story about a sudden change that can occur in one’s mindset or is necessitated by circumstances. It’s a story about a journey to discovering a better self and making peace with oneself on both physical and psychological level.

Tomas Vrana is an internationally awarded photographer from Prague. Vrana studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and his work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague in addition to private collections. His work has been exhibited internationally both at group shows and solo exhibitions. Tomas Vrana’s photography always reflects a contradiction between order and disorder both in the physical world and a state of mind.
