Václav Reischl was born in Větřní, Czech Republic in 1947. In 1972 he graduated at the Film and Television academy (FAMU) Prague and one year later he emigrated to Germany. Just a few years later, in 1978, he founded, together with Juraj Lipták the photo and film production company R&L. Thanks to their successful commercial photographic work, they were also able to produce many different, independent fiction and non-fiction films and could realize many different photography exhibitions. In the last couple of years Reischl was also able to realize a couple of projects together with his daughter Tine Reischl (NurLimonade Media Productions Amsterdam, the Netherlands). Václav Reischl’s photography experience ranges from artistic, experimental and social photography to a wide range of commercial photography all over the world (Europe, United States, Oman, Canada, China and many other countries).
