Antonín Kratochvíl (also written Antonin Kratochvil; born 12 April 1947) is a Czech-born American photojournalist. He is a founding member of VII Photo Agency.
Life and work
Kratochvíl was born in 1947 in Lovosice, Czechoslovakia. He gained a BFA in Photography from Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam.
He has photographed Mongolia's street children for the magazine of the American Museum of Natural History and the Iraq War for Fortune.[citation needed]
He was suspended from VII Photo Agency in 2017 after sexual harassment allegations were made.[1] He denied that they ever happened.[2]
Sarah K. Stanley, in an essay on Kratochvíl's book Vanishing, called it "a unique compilation of images by a photographer who is distinguished by his great sensitivity to the plight of humans beings and animal species seeking survival in endangered habitats."[3]
