Antonin Kratochvil


Antonin Kratochvil was born in 1947 in Czechoslovakia. He gained a BFA in Photography from an academy in Amsterdam. He has photographed Mongolia's street children for the magazine of the American Museum of Natural History and the Iraq War for Fortune. Kratochvil had many publications and many contributions to many other publications. He received many awards and was very known for his work in the business of Photography. Also, he was know greatly for being suspended from the photo agency for sexual harassment.
Antonin Kratochvil is the founder of the VII photo agency. As a photojournalist, he had tacked a great deal of human catastrophe and upheaval, which prove to be interesting images. I think that those sort of images are good because it really helps the people who weren't at the scene see what really happened and feel the emotion of the image even though they weren't really there. 
The image below is one of Kratochvil's images. I really like this image because I can tell what the emotions are just by looking at this image and it almost makes me feel like I was there experiencing it as well. The image shows emotions of being afraid or maybe terrified of what is going on around them and king of just gives a gloomy feeling to the people viewing the image. Really an impressive piece of artwork!
