A unitary coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model is applied to the combined analysis of the ({pi},{gamma})N{yields}K{lambda} reactions in the energy region up to 2 GeV. To constrain the resonance couplings to the K{lambda} final state the recent photoproduction data obtained by the SAPHIR, Spring-8, and CLAS groups are included in the calculations. The main resonance contributions to the process stem from the S{sub 11}(1650),P{sub 13}(1720), and P{sub 13}(1900) states. The second peak at 1.9 GeV seen in the photoproduction cross-section data is described as a coherent sum of the resonance and background contributions. The prediction for the beam polarization observable is presented.
