Marketa is 100% professional, but you'd never know it by looking at her photos. She seems more like the girl next door; always ready to greet you with a smile or a wink of the eye. She is everything a man could possibly want from a woman and a whole lot more.

Marketa comes from Czech heritage but currently lives in Prague. She has modeled for such international publications as Playboy and Perfect 10 and is of course one of the most popular figures on Hegre-Art.com, a showcase for top Norwegian photographer Petter Hegre.

In 2004 she appeared on the cover of Petter Hegre's best selling book 100 Naked Girls, now in its second edition. As if that wasn't important enough, she and Petter Hegre have now published an exclusive volume of work aptly named Marketa which has already become a top seller in just a few short months. How many models can honestly say they have inspired an entire book by a single photographer? Not many.

"Beauty is more important on the inside, the way we are more then the way we look." Those are words that are often said but very few believe them. But when Marketa says it you have no choice but become sucked in by her absolute conviction. At 24 years old she is always smiling, always happy, and always filled with the optimism that the world is a wonderful place. She loves her two cats and has no plans to get married anytime soon. The world is her oyster for now, and there is no reason to shake things up at all.
