About

Jan Caga was born in a small industrial town Hodonin, Czech republic in 1976. After graduating from VUT university in Art Design he began working as a freelance magazine/journal photographer. He works on long-term projects focused on status of contemporary society. In human he tries to find out the good side, that the life is rich and still an open book. With naturalness which we entertain, going to work, sports, we rejoice, have families and children, experience feelings of happiness and sorrow, we can enjoy the pleasure of daily life and travel the global world. The world is constantly changing, it's not just wars, social problems and riots. Man create and transform the world in its image and attempting to do the best he can. For a photographer the globalization does not make the world smaller, but instead creates a new and wider context.

Jan has received numerous awards in photojournalism such as several prizes in the Czech Press Photo Contest, Award of Excellence in the 68th Pictures of the Year International, Grand prize PhotoEspaňa OjodePez Award of Human Values etc.

Now lives in Brno, Czech Republic, with his wife Veronika and two sons, Jachym and Matej.
