Vlastimil Kula
born 1950 in Czechoslovakia, Vlatimil Kula studied photography at the FAMU (Academy of Performing Arts, Prague).

Having taken advantage of the Czechoslovak communist government’s loosened travel restrictions, in 1968, Kula visited England, Canada and New York. During his journey, Vlastimil worked odd jobs as well as a miner in Sudbury, Ontario and as a waiter in New York.
Following his forced return to Czechoslovakia, Kula went on to study Art Photography at the Prague Academy of performing arts.

Thanks to his previous experiences in the free world, Kula became a man destined to permanently clash with the behaviour of the unfree society he was forced to live in.
The mainstream of the Czechoslovak society represented for him a challenge which he opposed fully.

Kula’s philosophy has been to face challenges present in modern Czech society and to make a most profound footprint in photography.
Choosing the genre of erotic photography gave Kula an excellent opportunity to make a difference.
