Markéta Navrátilová

• 1972, CZ

Markéta Navrátilová is one of the best Czech professional photographers today. She has made a name for herself worldwide as a cycling and especially Tour de France photographer.

She first came into contact with photography in 1992, when together with her father she made a report on the Tour de France. She started working for the English agency Photosport International, and since 1997 she has been working with the Dutch press agency Cor Vos. She is the only female photographer to have the opportunity to photograph cyclists from a motorcycle during the Tour de France. After a two-year stay in London between 2001-2002, she continued her previous work on professional cycling races. Along with documenting top sport, she has produced files on the London Underground or photographic diaries of her travels around the world. In 2008, she self-published the picture book Re Cycling.
