about
Jakub Kolek is a photographer and visual artist currently based in Prague and operating worldwide. In the past years, his work in both outdoor and studio environments has been focused on exploring the inner self through photographic practice. His images are conceived as reflections of self experience, seen in the landscapes and people that naturally draw his attention and lens. Whether inward or outward-looking, the themes explored in his work consistently stem from personal history and lived experience.
“I use photography — and art in general — as a tool to explore and connect with the world. It helps me experience the outer world and express my inner one.”
Jakub was selected as one of the talents in Fresheyes 2024 by GUP Magazine. In 2024–2025, he completed the Sputnik Mentoring Program in Warsaw, Poland.
