Brazilan Party in Prague !


FIVB World Tour Prague Open 2015 was a big Brazilian party ! The girls from Brazil won the 1st, 3rd and 4th place. The only team that squeeze in were Canadians Heather and Sarah. The organizers were quite lucky with the weather, after rainy week, the Sunday was just perfect, cloudy, bud warm and no rain at all.

And guess what :D as usual, just before the match point, a security guy came to handle the photographers ;) "2 meters to the right! everyone! Is there something you don't understand! " haha lucky me I was at a good spot didn't have to move, but the other guys were quite angry, as it could result in missing the shot just after the winning ball. :) this stuff happens almost everywhere :D

Results :
  1. Agatha Bednarczuk, Barbara Seixas De Freitas - BRA 
  2. Heather Bansley, Sarah Pavan - CAN
  3. Eduarda Santos Lisboa, Elize Secomandi Maia - BRA

Brno Pitbulls vs Bilovice Sigrs (6:12)


The biggest rivalry in South Moravia in American Football League happened today. Pitbulls were fighting against Sigrs, and it was thrilling till the end. It almost reminded me on the Superbowl :) Sigrs 20s before the end decided to go for a pass, and the pick was almost returned for the TD. I think something like 15 yards  were missing.


What was even more interesting was the TWERK halftime show!


Pitty for Pitbulls today, but they can have their revenge in 2 weeks !!




WORLD SPORTS IMAGES has just launched!

Today I am proudly launching new project called :


When I started with sports photography in 2013 I immediately become hooked to it. Through 2013 and 2014 I was shooting different venues, mainly Czech American Football league but also some beach volleyball events, ninepins (yes it is a sport :), ice hockey (poor lense) and many other sport venues. 


My image bank grew to 50000 images from which the selection of the best ones is around 2700 photographs. I started to think about my own online photo bank, with robust system, with one type of description of each image. Because I delivered my images to different agencies through the years, I knew this will be the tough one. Go to each photo and manually rewrite it to my own standard. Man I wish I would did it in the beginning.



I started to build it (two times already) and I was always pushed back by the effort it required and the back-end capabilities and price of the system. Until this year. With the new Zenfolio system I found exactly what I needed from product/license/system/services options available. So I started again and finally I finished it. 

From now on all my images will be available through WorldSportsImages.com 



But this is not the end. There are many new things, products, services  that I want to introduce in the future, but lets take it step by step.

So feel free to visit my new page . Also a new twitter account was setup @WorldSportsIM so if you want to get news about sports photography and new images, be sure to follow it.
