Ladislav Jan Kofranek’s photos feel like a quiet detective’s notebook, he shot Prague’s alleys and doorways so precisely they look staged but aren’t. He once hid his camera inside a shopping bag and shot shoppers from hip height, so the pictures feel like someone brushing past you. His grainy, tilted streets and half-empty plazas push you into the scene without a map. Look up “Untitled (Photograph)” and see what happens when a city becomes a list of questions.
