Blanka Chocholová
is a Czech art photographer, exhibition curator and teacher. Since 1977, she has used few conventional methods, her free work concentrating on staged images, sequences, landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits. (Cycles: Katalog pocitů a Fotografický snář, Zmizelý čas, Deníkové záznamy z cest, Jiné předměty, atd.)
In the 1990s, professional model training teams were formed, and at that time she taught not only models in advertising agencies but later students of the Institute of Creative Photography at Silesian University in Opava. She is the author of study scripts (studio training; working with models and fashion photography).
She is an initiatior and author of the project Záchrana fotografických archivů renomovaných československých fotografů (Zdeněk Tmej, Karel Hájek, Karel Ludwig, Emila Medková, aj.). These are works by photographers who worked with her father in the 1940s and 1950s, mainly for magazines. Their photographs were published in this way, but not enlarged to large format, as was later the custom for exhibitions and gallery displays. During the lifetime of her father (Václav Chochola - a classic of Czech fine art and portrait photography), she enlarged his photographs with him, arranged them and evaluated their artistic and social historical value.
