Story Behind the Photograph

Cabo da Roca, Portugal, 14 December 1990.

Václav Havel walked along the sandy beach towards the Atlantic Ocean. He moved slowly, leaving footprints behind him in the sand.

When I pressed the shutter, my heart started racing. I knew I had captured an extraordinary moment.

I called the photograph "Leaving".

At the time, I had no idea what a powerful symbol it would one day become. After Václav's death, it took on a new meaning and became one of the best-known photographs of my career.
