Fotograf Magazine

The work of Petra Steinerová, a graduate of Prague’s FAMU, can be typified for, among other reasons, its classic photographic quality. Ms. Steinerová creates larger film material, which in resulting products is left as copies of contact sheets, or on the contrary used as quality, large-format photo blowups. She places great emphasis on her creative process (artistic product) and especially on the most exact arrangement of elements on a surface – this is characteristic of her series of melancholic landscapes or gloomy civilisational still-lifes. At the same time she works on figural series with social themes. In these images – moments – she prefers happenchance, directness and
a deep look at intimate events.
