ROYAL, 2011
This fashion project was inspired by historical family portraits (mainly painted in Baroque and Renaissance) and shows people as members of a fictitional royal family or ,,dynasty". I was looking for their similarities and differences and took these photographs in the places corresponding to the personalities and the styling of the models to evoke the atmosphere.

Combining bold shapes, vivid colours and surrealism, Eliška Sky is a contemporary Czech London-based artist using the medium of photography to capture the diversity of beauty. In her work, she explores the forms of the human body and themes of sustainability. With a fresh take on beauty, fashion and portraiture, Eliška’s work brings a unique aesthetics with focus on inclusivity & acceptance.
In 2023, she was the recipient of Photo Artfolio photo grant, winner of Julia Margaret Cameron Award in ‘Women seen by women’ category and finalist of esteemed Head On Portrait Award.
