Documentary photography: Climbing as a lifestyle
Dlesková, Veronika ; Géla, František (advisor) ; Lábová, Sandra (referee)
The bachelor thesis entitled Documentary photography: Climbing as a lifestyle is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the historical connection between documentary photography and high-altitude mountaineering. Furthermore, I study the representation of climbing photography in media. The thesis presents the genre of documentary photography and explores the difference between documentary photography and reportage photography. I present the cameras used by climbers in the first half of the 20th century while climbing the highest peaks in the Himalayas. I briefly describe the methods used to document climbing on Mount Everest nowadays. In the practical part of my thesis, I document the current generation of Czech climbers, for which I use both the photos taken on the rocks and the pictures presenting an authentic insight into the lives of people who call climbing their lifestyle.
