As part of this incredible group show, I’m grateful to have celebrated personal sanctuaries, evolving spaces, and the beauty of shared vulnerabilities. The exhibition invited viewers to reflect on light as not only a technical aspect of photography but also as a symbol of personal growth, resilience, and transformation. I appreciate the opportunity to showcase my work alongside fellow artists. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this journey an unforgettable experience for all of us.
Thank you @itssweetland temporary.shelter for a great video and @mariongabriellephotos for awesome analogue BTS snaps! 🤍
TÉRA PECHMANNOVA on FINDING THE LIGHT
In “Finding the Light,” I photographed light in others as they found peace at home. My work explores the bond between light and safety, capturing vulnerable moments of comfort.

Teatime
Recent project I was working on is based on my own developer for analogue films and because you can use almost anything to make it, I went with teas from areas where I travelled in 2023 while developing negatives on the way. Here is selection from Japan and Nepal. The teas include Nepalese black ( there is rarely a specific kind), milky tea (the one you drink while hiking in mountains and Japanese Kukicha, genmaicha with some Sakura, Indigo and camellia leaves.

Photography for me was always capturing the memories. Somehow I wish to keep them all in the box like a treasure. Maybe that’s why analogue is close to my heart.
This selection is from the time when I followed a captain who sailer around the world. I haven’t but came to crew on the boat every year for a few months.
