Lukáš Dvořák is one of the leading figures in the contemporary photography scene in Czech Republic. This renowned artist from Prague has been dedicated to photography for more than twenty years, earning numerous international accolades for his work. Having spent extended periods in Italy and the United States, he masterfully blends artistic and commercial photography—ranging from evocative black-and-white nudes to prestigious advertising and fashion campaigns.
Dvořák’s work is inseparably linked to black-and-white nude photography, which has earned him worldwide respect and established him as one of the most distinctive photographers in this genre. His images capture feminine beauty in its purest form, emphasizing elegance, naturalness, and composition. His signature style merges an exceptional sense of light and shadow with delicate aesthetics, creating timeless images that oscillate between classic and modern art. Each of his photographs is not only a carefully crafted visual story but also an authentic artistic expression.
Throughout his career, Dvořák has collaborated on numerous prestigious advertising campaigns, where his precise eye for visual composition has attracted brands such as Pinko, Baťa, O2, H&M, Klentony Aurum, René Caovilla, and Twin Set. At the same time, he has established himself as a sought-after fashion photographer, with his images appearing in leading global magazines, including Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, Flair, Playboy, and L’Officiel.
Thanks to his original approach and mastery of lighting, Dvořák has also become a respected figure in the world of photographic technology. He has earned the prestigious title of Fujifilm X-Photographer, placing him among the global ambassadors of this iconic brand. As an ambassador, he not only represents Fujifilm’s cutting-edge technology but also contributes his expertise to the development of modern photography.
Dvořák’s work is deeply influenced by his personal connection to nature and movement. Growing up in the picturesque environment of the Krkonoše Mountains instilled in him a lifelong appreciation for harmony and the beauty of landscapes. This element plays a key role in his artistic style—natural scenery often becomes an integral part of his compositions, adding a profound atmosphere to his photographs. Equally important in his life is his passion for sports, which has become an essential part of his routine. He enjoys hiking in the mountains, playing basketball, cycling, and kayaking. This energy is reflected in his photography, where he captures motion, dynamism, and the power of the moment.
Beyond its artistic value, his work is also prized for its exclusivity. Lukáš Dvořák releases his photographs exclusively in limited editions, giving them a collector’s status. The sale of his works follows the principles of FOTOETIKA. Each series consists of only 13 pieces, which, once sold out, are never reproduced again. Thanks to top-tier printing quality and meticulous archiving, his photographs have a lifespan exceeding three centuries, granting them a timeless value and securing their place among significant contemporary artworks.
Lukáš is fully dedicated to his craft. Sales of his works are exclusively managed through select galleries, such as Im Gallery in Prague, A Galerie in Paris, and 1.618arts in Lisbon.
Lukáš Dvořák is also the author of two exceptional photography books that celebrate feminine beauty and his unique artistic approach. His first book, First Impression, published in 2010, showcased his early work and immediately captured the attention of photography enthusiasts and collectors. In this publication, Dvořák masterfully captures the timeless elegance of the female form, emphasizing naturalness, aesthetics, and the interplay of light and shadow.
More than a decade later, in 2021, he released his second book, XIII, symbolically referencing the number 13—not only his lucky number but also a reflection of the thirteen years he spent working on the project. This publication elevates his work to a new level, showcasing a mature style defined by precise composition and a deep understanding of feminine beauty. Both books are not only collector’s items but also artistic expressions of Dvořák’s passion for black-and-white photography and his fascination with feminine elegance and sensuality.
