I’m Documenting Subcultures Worldwide For 10 Years: Iran’s Freedom Activists, Exorcism In Ethiopia, Satan Community And More
562Kviews
My name is David Tesinsky, I'm an independent photographer of the subcultures, urban cultures, street stories and people's stories in general AKA reportage/social documentary photography. I was born on April 1990 in Prague.
I'm always in search for somehow controversial, unique, special lifestyles and I'm capturing bright moments and also problematics of nowadays. To me, photography can be the cure for the people which can heal people through seeing other people's stories captured in a specific way. It's a great motivation for me to capture such moments which makes people realize things or just be simply enriched by knowing and seeing that.
I'm photographing subcultures and different people's stories worldwide. For example activists and new generation of freedom in Iran, exorcism rituals in Ethiopia, tragi-comical life of Japanese businessmen, Rap as a religion in Detroit, NY and Baltimore, living legends and real VS fake Rastafarians in Jamaica, life of the drug addicts in Prague, soldiers in Ukraine, Satan community in Prague, life in slums in many Asian countries and some more.
I got my first camera when I was 12 and I was bothering my classmates, I was much more into skateboarding at that time so it took a while before I found a higher meaning of it. Then I've started studying photography in Prague but the trouble was I get myself more into punk rock, grunge and playing guitar than photography. Before I've finished my graduation I've decided to quit the school as I was only sleeping there and finally get myself on the plane to USA where I was searching for the inner goal of my focus and my meaning in that focus. I've started to travel a lot since I was about 20 into Asian countries such as India, Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan etc. It was always very low cost which was the reason it was quite possible to stay for even few months for me. Sometimes I had to sleep in the park or in some wrong place in Africa where I found myself in the middle of a bloody fight because of me and my "expensive bag".

The positive outcome of this pictorial exercise is the realization as to just how 'normal' I am. What a relief. :D

Beeing an average white male with christian background don't make you normal. Your racism don't make you normal, your sexist way of life don't make you normal. The fact that you are beeing upvoted make you think like you are right, ignoring the fact that you are downvoted most of the time, but you speak a lot... That's not the same thing. You are not NORMAL at all, just an old thing like the grandma clock, everybody like to see that, but nobody wants it.

Do you have a pay-pal account ? because if you do you can add an extra 1400 /week in your check working on the laptop 2 hours per day, go to this page Good luck_____________ http://cutt.us/46UQo
i really wish the worlds people could just let people be happy if it hurts no one else. but everyone must inject their opinions into other peoples lives.
Not Everyone there are many chill liberal minded folk they don't bother to comment coz their minds are on greater things they merely repost with a Positive YES as the title 😜😋
Great pics, but a messy post. Why not post each individual series over a certain space of time?
Seconding this. I want to see + learn about the clown satanists in Prague.
