Karel Cudlin's photographies are images that narrate human stories. Stories of men and women told with sensitivity and great respect. Contemplations of meaningful faces and indelible expressions. Testimonies of many diferent situations from our human community. Documents in black and white. Stories by means of a sincere visual language.

His photography is not an aesthetic style but a way to be.

Karel Cudlin knows to focus his camera being common and accomplice with people and their circumstances. Their eyes grasp moments always aware of the relation between the individual and his surroundings. He knows how to portray the human being in a tactful manner. His gaze carefully reveals privacy in a simple way. He tries to reflect and to focus on beyond the face.

It's the immediacy between his camera and the portrayed person which releases this magic, this fragility and tenderness that charms us.

Karel Cudlín pertains to the tradition of great Photographers like Cartier Bresson, Jindrich Streit or Catalá Roca. His works can be found in great international collections like the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and in other museums of Prague, Berlin and Lausanne.
