Girls of the Clergy House is a series of photographs documenting the daily lives of three girls living with their parents in an old parish house in a small Central Bohemian village.

Ája (11), Verča (9), and Naty (4) spent most of their free time playing outdoors or within the rectory grounds. Their father, a French nobleman who had lost his family fortune, relocated to Central Bohemia and worked as a janitor.

Over the course of approximately three months, I spent extensive time with the family to capture fragments of their everyday life. The project was eventually presented as my high school graduation work.
