The Oddest and the Best

I’ve never worked with Antonin Kratochvil, the photographer, but I know him slightly and love his work, which is beautiful and disturbing (perhaps an appropriate description of Antonin, too). Outside magazine has just published a profile of Antonin, and the story is as offbeat and entertaining and necessary as his pictures. A few graphs into the piece Chris Anderson, whose work is also amazing and to whom Antonin is a mentor, has this to say: “In what we do, the most important faculties are instinct and intuition. Antonin is the embodiment of instinct. His persona is that of an ogre, but he is frighteningly intelligent, the most astute observer of human behavior I know.” Read the story, see his photos.
