Josef Sudek was a wonderful Czech photographer who had a great influence on me when I started out as a photographer.

Born in 1896, Sudek's work can be divided into two distinctive periods. He started out as a pictorialist and then later his work becomes post-pictorialist going between several genre's including romanticism and modernism.

But despite the category, Sudek's work is comprised of a compositional style that remains intact which is quite impressive for any photographer, particularly of his generation.
