This Photographer’s House Burnt Down, Let’s Help Him Raise Funds And Recover

ADVERTISEMENT

Maybe you remember the Czech photographer Janek Sedlar, whose pics of dream-like forests in autumn went viral last year on Bored Panda. Well, now we bring you more of his surreal nature photographs, but this time there is a powerful reason for you to look at them carefully, because these might be his last ones for a long time…

Last September, Janek arrived at his home in Moravia and found it had burnt out. Luckily, his family was safe, but most of his property, including his photographic and informatic equipment, were totally burnt and useless. Of course, he can’t do his work as photographer without them, and the insurance didn’t cover the household damage.

Now, Janek has an idea to try to recover from this disaster: With the collaboration of the company SAAI-DIGITAL, he has launched a crowdfunding campaign in order to print a photobook containing his best shots in exceptional quality. By participating in bringing forth this book, you will also partly support the purchase of new equipment which was lost during the fire. So, click on the crowdfunding page, check which reward suits you most and help Janek to keep portraying the wonderful nature in the surreal way he does.

The insurance covered the damage in the house, but not the household, so Janek found himself in a difficult position

He had an idea: launching a crowdfunding campaign to publish a photobook with his best shots

Nice idea, nice campaign. But it reminds at the same time to have both household and house insurance. At least where I live the household insurance has a tiny premium but is extremely valuable in a case such as this one. It will of course not cover the ideal loss, either, but ease the financial one.
