Veronika Kotkova

To call myself a photographer, I verified a certain few abilities; one: To see an alternative light to that which the everyday eye sees. Two: To be able to connect with a particular aspect of society & my environment, from a point of view that only those who truly have a passion for that particular subject can obtain. Three: To combine a subject, and an idea in an original and captivating manner, creating a final image which can appear spontaneous yet contain momentary planning & precision. I believe that a photographer cannot capture the true essence of a subject that has no importance or relation to; hence why most of us in the industry have a specialty. I follow a certain lifestyle; Rockabilly. This, Along with the Pin-Up phenomenon, is not just a ‘look’, or a ‘trend’. It is a lifestyle, one which has been close to my heart for many years and therefor gives me the confidence to take a client and create a beautiful Rockabilly image. The ability to ‘create’ this image for any client also stems from my love and experiences with Fashion photography; having worked with many fashion creative's such as Sebastian Paszek, PR Modeling Management, MUA Katarina Melichova. I undertook the roles of not only photography but also creative direction and styling. Having moved to the UK from The Czech Republic seven years ago, I have accumulated a considerable amount of credible experience in industries that are largely focused and built around the use of photography. With all of these philosophies, I still remain humble and cannot deny that I gain more knowledge of the art of photography with every shot I take. Please feel free to contact me for any inquiries, I am open to a wide variety of opportunities & will take pleasure in accepting challenges.
