Kotvalová, Lucie ; Láb, Filip (advisor) ; Géla, František (referee)
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is primarily concerned with environmental photography. The theoretical part frames the presented thesis mainly through the history of Czech documentary photography which is focused on environmental issues, but it also deals with the definition of the genre of documentary photography, moreover it articulates how photography affects the perception of the world around us. The practical part of this thesis represents environmental photography through a set of documentary photographs, which aimed to capture the current state of the Czech countryside. The ensemble acts as a testimony to the daily routine of the locals on a family farm in the village of Krchlebská Lhota in the district of Kutná Hora. Through the photographic collection, the author of this thesis tried to document what was left of the traditional village life. These photographs show regular tasks - cater for animals, feeding and killing of animals, work in the garden, repairs on the holding or work in the workroom. The photographs further document not only relationships between the locals, but also relationships between humans and animals. Overall, the presented thesis might be considered to be a contribution to the realm of environmental photography.
