Jaromír Funke (1896–1945) studied medicine, law and philosophy at Charles University in Prague

 but did not graduate. Instead he concentrated on becoming a professional freelance photographer.

 By 1922 he was a leader of the young opposition movement in photography and a founder of the

 Czech Society of Photography (1924) whose mission was to create photography that would  

fulfil new social functions.
