About me
Heyy!
My name is Anna Bachratá.
I am full of passion
to capture the moments
in which the reality of joy, love, sincerity,
or desire lies.
And what's my personal story?
I'm a girl who decided to pursue her dreams... I love sports, nature, and the process of constantly learning new things.
When I stood at the age of 14 facing the choice of high school, I underwent personality tests with a psychotherapist. The only question I remember was: How do I envision my ideal day as an adult?
"I would like to work in a sports club in the morning and then move to my photo studio and continue working there..." or something along those lines... and what's the continuation after 14 years?
Playing floorball, working in a floorball club, and studying at the Faculty of Sports at Masaryk University allowed me to move to Switzerland in 2020. This Alpine country enchanted me with its blue lakes and stunning nature so much that I don't want to return to my native Czech Republic at all. (Honestly, there is something or rather someone keeping me here :D) Nevertheless, I still return to the Czech Republic to visit family, friends, and my regular or new clients.
I've gone through several job positions and moved several times a year. These experiences allow me to meet new people, but most importantly, to intensely get to know myself.
In my thoughts, I naturally come to what my current and future self wants. And I know it wants more or less the same as my 14-year-old self... to combine sports and photography, and I'm still managing to do that even in a foreign country where I arrived without knowing German. But when passion drives you, you'll always find your way. Learning German accompanies me daily, sometimes less intensively and sometimes more...
My relationship and approach to photography?
Since childhood, I've enjoyed capturing moments and emotions of people around me, which eventually led me to photograph families and weddings. My first wedding dates back to 2017.
Since then, my relationship with photography has deepened, and I believe the quality of my work has improved :) The only thing that remains the same is my passion for capturing authentic moments in any life situation.
When I'm part of these seemingly not only ordinary but also unique days, I simply feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be and doing what fills me with happiness.
My greatest joy, however, is fulfilling your expectations. Your positive feedback and satisfaction are the best rewards for me.
I love photographing you in your favorite places, whether in nature, in a city park, in a café, or at home. But of course, I'm more than happy to help you choose a location.
While photographing weddings and family events, I act as an observer and strive to capture moments authentically, just as they are. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere so that you can enjoy each other's company, and I don't have to be the main character.
If my story and photography style have intrigued you and you'd like me to capture any life event or an ordinary day of your story, feel free to contact me! I would be happy to meet with you in Switzerland, the Czech Republic, or wherever you want.
