I'm David Tesinsky from Prague and I'm an independent photographer of the subcultures, urban cultures, street stories and people's stories in general AKA reportage/social documentary photography.

I've captured stories of the drug addicts in Prague during 8 months spent in the streets and squatter houses. I've experienced a lot of sad and also happy moments with them. I became invisible after a while and my camera as well so these are the moments that would not be very easy to capture naturally otherwise.

“My friend gave me death for Christmas. He infected me with the hepatitis C and committed suicide on Christmas day because of that", - one of them said to me.

Most of the people in photographs are addicted to heroin and its substitutes, mainly Czech methamphetamine called Pervitin. These are the moments from their lives.

    When your so 'high' you laugh, and so broke and disappointed in yourself, you cry.

    All of these photo's are so evocative. Although terriblly sad, they ate extremely beautiful. I love the contrast the gritty rawness and the humanity

    That 'who AM I?' moment.. Smile through pain, being pain free for a moment in time.
