2007 Lukas Beck bought his first camera at
the age of fifteen. Five years later his works caught for
the first time the eyes of the public at an exhibition, and
very soon afterwards the attention of the critics. In 1993
he published his first book, Ostbahn Kurti & die
Chefpartie", on an outstanding Austrian Rock group. Then,
his career developed rapidly, in two directions at least -
journalistic photography as well as art and
culture. Today, his intriguing, unorthodox
snapshots appear regularly in many magazines in Austria and
throughout Europe. On the other hand, his portraits of the
artists and so many performers in different cultural
activities (theatre, music, cabaret) are not only a record
of our time, a document, a moment kept for the eternity;
they are often the real face of the art - sometimes hidden
from the public, comparable in value and impact with that of
the performer himself. Posters and CD-covers reveal his
passion for the unexpected, for the personality of the
artist, for that subtle and undefined thread linking every
professional effort with the intimate, private
self. Lukas Beck was born 1967, in
Vienna. press: "foto-objektiv"
