BOOK 7
LUKAS DVORAK
The Seventh Dimension
For years, Lukáš Dvořák's work has been a cornerstone of our MARLEY Magazine's visual identity. Our readers are very familiar with the art of this Prague-based master - a photographer whose lens captures not only images, but also soulful explorations of form, light, and femininity. It is therefore with great anticipation that we celebrate the publication of his third major work, simply titled “7.”
We are delighted to be able to share a few exclusive and highly impressive insights into his new work here.
Of course, his new book is also available right here in our MARLEY Shop.

7 is neither a casual retrospective nor a compilation of scattered works from past years, but rather an epoch-making statement that emerged from three years of intense, dedicated creative work. 7 is a complete project that was conceived and realized as a unique, unified vision. Lukáš approached this endeavor with a determined attitude and undeniable creative intent, embarking on a tireless journey across continents in search of muses and inspiration - a disciplined pursuit that now culminates in this extraordinary publication, rendered entirely in black and white.
In an age defined by fleeting digital colors and instant consumption, Lukáš reaffirms his commitment to the enduring power of monochrome art. The number 7 itself suggests completion, contemplation, and journey, hinting at the profound, cohesive narrative that runs through these pages. This book is a testament to the belief that true visual art is not based on chance, but on careful construction, travel, and the tireless pursuit of aesthetic sincerity. It is a work that requires the reader to take their time, promising an intimate and inspiring experience that transcends the boundaries of the photographic medium.
Lukáš Dvořák is undoubtedly one of the leading figures in the contemporary photography scene in the Czech Republic. The renowned artist, who has been devoted to his craft for more than twenty years, can look back on an impressive career marked by international awards and a mastery that seamlessly bridges high art and high commerce. His early experiences, including extended stays in Italy's rich art and fashion scene and the vibrant creative energy of the United States, enabled him to develop a unique dual expertise. He moves effortlessly between prestigious advertising and fashion campaigns and the creation of his expressive, deeply personal black-and-white nude photographs, which have become his trademark.
But it is precisely this commitment to monochrome nude photography that has earned him worldwide recognition and made him one of the most distinctive and influential photographers in this genre. Lukáš approach is fundamentally classical, based on an unwavering appreciation for elegance, naturalness, and strict composition. He dispenses with the superfluous and instead focuses on capturing female beauty in its purest, most honest form.
His unmistakable style is instantly recognizable: a refined aesthetic that combines an extraordinary, almost painterly sense of light and shadow with sophisticated sensitivity. Lukáš images never shock, but invite reflection. They oscillate gracefully between classical Renaissance forms and modern minimalist sensibility, creating a timeless quality that ensures their longevity far beyond fleeting trends.
Each photograph is not just a documentation of a moment, but a carefully crafted visual story - an authentic artistic expression in which the interplay of darkness and light reveals a deep emotional depth.
According to Lukáš himself, the creation of 7 was a process of intense dedication, driven by an unrelenting desire to expand his artistic vocabulary within the confines of his beloved black-and-white canvas. The project required three years of concentrated work, extensive travel, and an active, tireless search for the precise atmosphere and locations that matched his clear, predefined vision.
This commitment to the project’s cohesive intent is what sets 7 apart. The locations, the models, the quality of light - all were selected not as isolated opportunities, but as vital components contributing to the book’s singular narrative arc. The resulting collection is a masterclass in mood, where every image speaks the same sophisticated visual language, united by a profound respect for aesthetic purity and compositional strength.
7 is more than a book of art photography; it is a journey into the soul of an artist at the height of his powers, a pilgrimage through light and shadow that celebrates the enduring, inspiring power of the naked form. For those who appreciate photography where artistic expression takes center stage and technical mastery supports emotional depth, Lukáš latest work is a must-have. It is a powerful continuation of his legacy, securing him a place not only among the leading contemporary photographers, but also among the great chroniclers of beauty in art history.
