Jaroslav Poncar was born in Prague in 1945. Since 1973 he lives in Cologne, where he is Professor for Photo Engineering and Media Technology at the University of Applied Sciences. His countless, photographically motivated travels took him mostly to the Himalayas and Tibet, to Central Asia, India and Cambodia. Since 1976 he has developed an especial preference for panorama photography. In 1985, he was the first European to cross Tibet from East and West. The following year he spent many month with Tibetean nomads. As a member of the German Aspara Conservation Project, he is currently in charged of the truly comprehensive photographic documentation of Angkor Wat in Cambodia as part of the UNESCO program for the preservation of Angkor.
