My name is Vojtěch Šplinar, but everyone calls me Vojta. Though I’m currently living in Prague, my story began in the beautiful town of Karlovy Vary – a place that sparked my love for nature and capturing moments through the lens.
Photography runs in my family – my grandfather was a professional photographer, and his passion became a part of me too.
I’ve always been fascinated by the stories of writers like Jack Kerouac and Jack London. Their untamed exploration of the world and spontaneous approach to life have been a big inspiration for me. The message was clear: If you want something from life, go after it.
In 2014, I started writing my own chapter of “On the Road.” With a camera in hand and a backpack on my shoulders, I set out to explore Europe, eventually settling in Paris, Krakow, and Dublin. Each city and the incredible people I met added their own chapter to my story – from bartending at Krakow’s Hard Rock Cafe to discovering hidden corners of Paris with the local art community, and moving into digital marketing on the Irish tech scene.
When I’m not taking photos or working on my next project, you’ll find me with a guitar in hand, listening to folk and rock, or recharging at concerts. These different creative outlets are my fuel and inspiration.
Even though my camera’s shutter doesn’t click as often as it used to, my drive to create, keep growing, and meet new people hasn’t faded – it’s just taken on new forms. Each new project is not just a source of experiences, but also a motivation to keep pushing boundaries and trying new things.
