Jiri has been a wildlife conservationist from his early childhood years, and has worked as a Zookeeper in Czechoslovakia and Australia. He and Marie chose Australia because they knew no-one here and because what they knew about Australia, its wildlife and its wilderness fascinated them.
They have travelled and explored much of Australia, including Cape York, Kakadu, the Kimberley and much of the inland, then settled in Perth. Jiri has worked as a Zookeeper at Perth Zoo, but eventually his love of the outdoors and wildlife, combined with a love of photography led him and Marie to set-up their own photography business.
Thirty two years ago he submitted a photograph for possible publication in LANDSCOPE magazine (the official publication of what was previously known as CALM – now the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, WA) and since then has had his work published in all bar three of its editions.
