Vojtěch Veškrna

Vojtěch Veškrna is a Prague-based photographer & artist renowned for his work in documentary, portrait, product and conceptual photography. His work touches on architecture in many ways, whether in the form of a book on housing typology in Prague or a conceptual story about brownfields prepared for the city planning center. When photographing architecture commercially, he always looks for authenticity and certain genius loci of a place. Regardless of the type of photography, he is always concerned with the most subjectively adequate grasp and understanding of the subject he is exposed to.

Vojtěch Veškrna’s work has received recognition through multiple awards. In 2021 he was honored with the Czech Grand Design Photographer of the Year award. His photobook “My Air Force” was named the Best East European Photobook in 2016, shortlisted for The Anamorphosis Prize and is featured in the permanent library collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. In 2013, Veškrna won the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Photo Award. His work has been showcased in several group and solo exhibitions including Centre de photographie in Rouen, France, Hackney WickED festival in London, UK, or the “Riga Photomonth – Self Publish Riga” festival in Riga, Latvia.
