Already The Instagram account of Apple Today the pictures of two photographers from the Czech Republic were published, Jacob Fischer a Matúš Tóth. Using the iPhone camera, they portrayed the incredible beauty of the art objects created by Czech glassmakers in a unique way, resulting in a variety of stunning images. Thanks to macro and wide-angle shots, both photographers perfectly reflected the color and structure of the art of Czech glassmakers.
The photos were taken in Prague’s PRAGL, a Czech glass workshop in the heart of Prague in a UNESCO-listed building. Here, local culture meets technological innovation. One of the pictures shows a horse made of glass Jiří Pačinekone of the best Czech glassmakers.
Crystal and glass production are more closely associated with the Czech Republic than any other subject. This is due to the perfection of craftsmanship and the high level of artistic design that is unparalleled anywhere in the world.
“When photographing glass, I was interested in the details and abstract shapes found in glass. When photographing with the iPhone, I chose the main lens, which I think has the best exposure, and my recommendation is to set the exposure manually, which I usually darken a bit. I am thrilled and honored that my photos are featured on the company’s Instagram account Apple,” said Czech photographer Jakub Fišer.
“Photographing Czech glass is a unique experience for me. I used portrait mode on my iPhone to take these pictures, with the ‘blur’ adding depth to the photos. Czech glass is unique in the world and glass combined with interesting shapes conducts light beautifully, so the macro shots themselves were beautiful and fascinating. “I was fascinated by how Jiří Pacinek made a glass horse, not knowing until the last moment what the final product would look like,” comments Matúš Tóth, a photographer from Prague.
