“I take photographs for the pure love of photography.”

“One of the reasons I love photographs is that people don’t have to speak any particular language to understand what I want to say.”

My name is Michal Fanta and I am a fine art and people photographer from a little country in the heart of Europe called the Czech republic. I started my photographic career at the age of five. It was the time I got my first camera and fell in love with photography. When I was 15 I bought my first digital camera. I don’t care whether I use a Canon or a Nikon camera: I just need a camera with fully manual mode.

likes: spending time at the café drinking coffee and relaxing, looking at photographs by Henri Cartier Bresson and by Annie Leibovitz and of course eating and photographing GUMMY BEARS. I also like movies because while watching the movie I can look at about 24 photos each second. I especially like the movies by Woody Allen.

Ricardo Liberato (photographer) has said about me: “Michal Fanta is the World’s leading Gummi Bear photographer. He has brought new light to the genre – some say he created it himself. :-)
Great light and DOF control, specially in diffuse light make his pictures stand out, a continuous source of inspiration.”

My photos have already been published in magazines and in a book about art.
