Josef Koudelka was born in a small village of Moravia. He got his degree at a Technical University in Prague as a aeronautical engineer in Bratislava and Prague from 1961-1967. Josef Koudelka started to take pictures of his family and things that were happening around him. Koudelka began photographing theater productions on a old Rolleiflex Camera. In 1968 Koudelka's project started to extend to the gypsy community in Rumania. Josef Koudelka had once said he didn't know why he started to photograph the gypsies, but apparently he does know that he could not stop.
In 1975 Josef Koudelka had published one of his major projects such as Gypsies and in 1988 he prublished the Exiles. Every work he was doing was getting support by Anna Farova. Koudelka's ability is to capture the spirit of humans and dark landscaping.
