Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively.

The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally — across more than 20 countries — over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire.

We call on all parties to the conflict to take immediate steps to protect the lives of children, and on the international community to support those efforts.

Vim, ze velmi malo davam prispevky z atelieru, ale mrzi me, kdyz mi pak piste o foceni a ja Vam nemuzu vyhovet. Tentokrat mam ale ten nejlepsi duvod; odchazim na materskou dovolenou ❤

Tohle krasne poslední foceni s úžasnou rodinou Kabrdovych proběhlo uz v posledních týdnech mého devátého měsíce a i když se setrim, myslím, ze jsme do foceni vložili krásnou energii a je z nej cítit láska, porozumění a výjimečne vztahy... Uz ted se těším, az se do atelieru zase vrátím a protože uz nikde po světě létat tolik nebudu, určitě pak najdeme čas na foceni i Vas ❤

Officially my last few photoshoots at Infinity Images studio in Czech, just a few weeks away from my due date. I am so excited it was with these lovely families. I will see you all after my maternity leave or when our baby allows ❤️📷🤱

Fantastic achievement!

7 years of coral restoration pays back! 💪

We have been restoring the reef around Hatamin island for 7 years. Our team has restored over 53 000 corals since the beginning, resulting in a return of 5 times the number of fish species!

All this would not have been possible without your support.

This Christmas, consider making a gift to bring these precious ecosystems back to life. Adopt a coral for a loved one and customise their certificate! 👉 http://bit.ly/3ipDdj6

7 ans de restauration corallienne, ça donne ça ! 💪

Nous restaurons le récif autour de l'île d'Hatamin depuis 7 ans déjà, suite à sa destruction à cause de l'utilisation de la pêche à la dynamite. Notre équipe a restauré plus de 53 000 coraux depuis, ce qui a entraîné un retour de 5 fois plus d'espèces de poissons dans la zone !

Tout ceci n'aurait pas été possible sans votre soutien.

Pour Noël, pensez à faire un cadeau qui contribue à redonner vie à ces précieux écosystèmes. Adoptez un corail pour un proche et personnalisez leur certificat ! 👉 http://bit.ly/3UjNRVG

I’m a climate scientist. Don’t Look Up captures the madness I see every day | Peter Kalmus A film about a comet hurtling towards Earth and no one is doing anything about it? Sounds exactly like the climate crisis

“Since 2009 we have lost more coral, worldwide, than all the living coral in Australia 🇦🇺. We are running out of time: we can reverse losses, but we have to . At the upcoming climate conference in Glasgow 🇽🇸 & the biodiversity conference in Kunming 🇨🇳, decision-makers have an opportunity to show leadership & save our reefs, but only if they are willing to take bold steps. We must not leave future generations to inherit a world without coral.” Inger Andersen on the report.

This incredible jungle like scene allowed us to create rainforest photoshoot feel in the heart of London, England.

I will be back in London again in October, please check my avaibility for your family photoshoot in London [email protected]

A dalsi nádherné foceni, které zahrálo u srdíčka. Tahle báječná rodinka úžasných zen, které jsou inspirativni v tolika ohledech... Jsou to lvice (podporuji nadaci Lvice) a krásné dušičky, které si pomáhají, vazi si jedna druhé, vzhlížejí k sobe, pracuji na sobe. Pred objektivem, ale i mimo nej. S maminkou Sarkou jsme spolu kdysi dávno (téměř před čtvrt stoletím) studovaly a setkani po l
tolika letech bylo neuvěřitelně krásné a silne. Dekuji dekuji ❤

Kdyz laska tvori lásku... Tohle foceni bylo nádherné a pro me take velice nostalgické, Terezka, kterou jsem kdysi sama vozila v kočárku bude brzy maminkou

Hello my dear friends living in London, England, Wales and Northen Ireland- we will soon be able to reunite once again ❤️ I have a little gift for one of you; location post lock down photoshoot portraiture 6f apart photoshoot with me:

We are going through very uneasy times and we all do the best we can to stay positive, hopeful, uplifted and take our attention away form the negativity and sadness, which is unfortunately the reality of recent times.

What I believe is that we can create our own perception of reality though; bubbles of hope, joy, dreams and focus our attention on what we have positive in our lives and be grateful. Having said that, I also feel so heartbroken for all of you sufferning and all who lost your bebeloved, there is no band aid that can sooth your pain. I am so so sorry and I wish I could give you a huge hug right now.

I am not pretending to be an ostrich and dig head into the sand; but I am not dwelling on negative news either and I am very aware of what I feed my subconscious mind. I don’t watch news as the breaking news will surely find their way to me anyway.

In other words, as hard as these times are, I continue living and being grateful for every single day, give thanks and appreciate human connection more than ever before. We are all grieving, we all lost something precious. But as cliche as it is, true to being all in this together ❤️✨

So to brighten your day, I have a prize to win: please comment below in few words how you keep positive in the pandemic/ what are your daily rituals/what uplifts you and helps you to slay the day. I will do a random pick and the winner will get a free post lockdown location photoshoot in London with me; we will spend time together 6 feet part shooting on various locations, take a walk, talk, get coffe and create life style imagic focusing on the positive you- I would like to help you build your confidence through your images and lift you up- something I love to do most in my life and I am so lucky I can do it though my portraiture!

See you very soon, I hope!! ❤️

Happy Christmas! ✨🎁

These are retrospective images of documenting Christmas for my clients, who became friends over the years. These are some of my favorite people whom I have the pleasure and privilege to work with as a photographer as well as private maternity nurse with some. Some of these photos I hadn't had a chance to publish yet as life goes by so fast and I haven't spent much time to promote my work as I didn't have much time for new clients in the last few years either. I could't deliver any Christmas portraiture this year though due to the current situation in the world, but I had much time to slow down and what these strange new times are teaching me is to stay in one place longer than I usually do and enjoy the process. I had so much on my hands with completing my masters degree in documentary photography, traveling, last few years exploring the jungle of Belize and working on my personal documentary projects. I kept busy writing a book and working on private assignments and charitable projects. There use to be times when I didn't stay in one country longer then few weeks and one continent longer than few months. This surely changes with the new dynamics of travel. So maybe see you soon in my studio in Czech republic or in London or if possible, on worldwide location! I am also working on photography exhibition for next year and my new book is coming out in 2021, please watch this space.

In the mean time, stay safe, heathy and connected!

Much love,

Blanka

Moc me bavi moje prace; prave uz diky tomu, ze muzu pracovat s uzasnymi lidmi, nasmat se a vzdycky me to zahreje zevnitr. Nejvic kdyz vidim, jak si rodinka foceni uziva, tuli se, mazli, skotaci... Je to pocit, ktery se jen tezko popisuje, ale odjizdim z foceni a rikam si, jak neskutecne jsem vdecna. A Bartici jsou vazne super a jsem moc rada, ze se nam zase po deseti letech podarilo setkat a vyrvorit krasne fotky do jejich rodinneho alba, ktere se uz ted pysni radou nadhernych snimku od tatinka Jirky. Na techle fotkach je navic cela rodinka po hromade a tak to ma byt. Rodina vzdy spolu a na prvnim miste

JOY. LOVE. FUN.
Lockdown doesn't have to be gray while keeping safe and smiling :)

Smich, radost a laska znamenaji, ze ani statni krize nemusi byt uplne sediva, kdyz jsme opatrni, respektujeme jeden druheho, ale zaroven si uzivame legraci. Protoze smich prece leci

Last minute na Vysocine! 🍁🍂📷 Na zitra ze mi uvolnilo jedno mistecko na podzimni foceni, idelane po 15h. Kdo mate zajem, piste prosim na [email protected] Tesim se! 🤗

A tohle super skotaceni na fotkach dole jsme si uzili s uzasnou rodinkou, kterou jsem naposledy fotila pred 10ti lety, kdyz byl dnes muj sikovny asistent Dan jeste v brisku u maminky Evicky. A dnes uz jsou sourozenci tri a s rodici tvori uzasny team 🙏🏻❤️

Takhle krasne nam hraji barvy nadherneho pozdzimu na Vysocine, ale take predevsim krasne usmevy, radost a laska lidi, kteri k sobe maji opravdu blizko. Foceni jsem si naramne uzila a dokonce jsme objevili i nova mista v prirode kousek od atelieru!
To co vidite na techto snimcich je opravdova laska; mit jeden druheho, tesit se z kazdeho dne. Jsem vdecna, ze si zatim muzeme tohle narocne obdobi zprijemnit focenim a pobytem na cerstvem vzduchu. Vlastne jsem vdecna, ze nas "moriburdus" vyhnal z atelieru, vzdyt je tak krasne na svete a na Vysocine uplne nejvic! Je pro mne dulezite, aby si cela rodina foceni spolecne predevsim uzila; tuleni, skotaceni, dovadeni v listi a hlavne jeden druheho. Ja vse jen pozoruji a dokumentuji, samozrejme v bezpecne vzdalenosti a s respektem k situaci covid. Kdo rika, ze smich a laska jsou nejlepsi medicina, je asi ten nejzkusenejsi lekar!

Je uzasne fotit casosberne a sledovat jak nam deti krasne rostou primo pred objektivem

Love love love love and more love. I love capturing love and this amazing family has abundance of love and kindness for each other and the whole wold 💕🌸🌎
