About Veronika Lukasova

In 1998, she moved to Washington DC, USA, and began pursuing a career in photography, studying at the Maine Photographic Workshops, The Woodstock Center for Photography and Eddie Adams Workshop.
Lukasova's curiosity in peculiar and quintessentially American life led to projects on County Fairs, Demolition Derbies, American Seniors, and Christian themed amusement parks. Her large-scale panorama project Occurrences offers a surrealistic look at American, Czech, British, Colombian and Libyan landscapes.
Lukasova's work has been featured widely throughout the world, including being a regular contributor to The Washington Post Magazine and The New York Times. Her work was also selected in the 2007 exhibit and book project "A Day in the life of the Czech Republic".

Recently, she won a 1st prize for a portrait series at the Czech Press Photo 2009 competition.
