Vladimír Jindřich Bufka

He was familiar with various photography techniques of the time including gum bichromate, platinum print, bromoil process and autochrome.

From 1910 to 1911, Bufka worked in the Jan Langhans atelier in Prague and extended his knowledge of photography at Hermann C. Kosel's studio in Vienna.

[5] In 1911, Bufka opened his own studio in Prague which gradually achieved a popularity comparable with that of the renowned atelier of František Drtikol.

In his later years, Bufka travelled to Warsaw and Saint Petersburg with the goal of documenting local art collections.

Bufka applied his deep knowledge of photographic techniques to his works and regularly explored the complex technical procedures of photography.
