Petr Jerabek selfportrait

Born in 1979 in Czechoslovakia. Growing up to study electronics and computer science. Besides the technical world, i was always drawn to photo exhibitions that fueled my own passion for photography.

Photojournalism, documentary and creative work are all the areas of my interest. I enjoy greatly to collaborate on artistic projects, on locations photo-shoots, portraiture and commercial.

IT administrator for years in Europe, technically savvy, independent tutor, web designer. Freelance newspaper photographer in San Francisco, CA. Working for non-profit organizations: IMPACT Bay Area and BATS Improv Theater.

Worked with Grammy Award-Winning violinist Mads Tolling on both of his albums (photography and design)

Well traveled through Europe, New Zealand, and Asia. Currently living and working in USA. Life is an endless opportunity for new experiences. Bitterness is just a natural part of sweetness. We experience both to enjoy the other.

It's about the journey, not the destination.
