About Vera Kodajova

Vera Kodajova was born in the Czech Republic. She came to London in 1998 and completed her photography degree at the LCP in 2002. At about the same time she found her subject matter – still life, which has been the focus of her work ever since.

From 2002-2005 Vera assisted several leading London still life photographers, and in 2005 won the AOP Assistant Awards. In the same year, she set up her own still life studio and immediately established herself as an independent photographer.

Vera’s work is known for its clarity, strength and iconic visualisation. She loves to show familiar objects in a new and striking light, and treads a fine line between the figurative and the abstract. Her sense of colour and contrast adds further a dimension to her work, and her attention to detail is a dominant feature throughout.
