I am a portrait photographer based in České Budějovice, passionate about creating authentic portraits that speak for you. I focus on portrait photography and business portraits—helping individuals and companies produce visuals that feel genuine, professional and memorable. My work is not about staged poses, but about finding the natural expression and atmosphere that suits you or your team. Why choose me? When I shoot a portrait, I prioritise humanity, calm communication and quick delivery. My background includes hands-on experience with attention, pacing and storytelling (my first projects in filming and editing began on social media), which gave me a keen sense for the moments that work in a portrait. I use professional equipment and carefully retouch each image so the result is a contemporary, representative portrait suitable for LinkedIn, websites or print. How does cooperation work? First, we have a conversation—I'll find out what impression you want to make, where you’ll use the portrait and what your personal or brand style is. We can shoot at a location you choose, including exteriors around České Budějovice, or I can suggest a spot that fits the intended purpose of the images. During the session I create a relaxed atmosphere and guide short conversations to capture natural expressions and subtle gestures. After the shoot I apply gentle, professional editing that preserves authenticity. For companies I offer a targeted approach: corporate portraits, team photos and image series for web presentation or internal communication. On request I can also prepare short dynamic videos or social-media teasers to complement the photographic material. My work is built on reliability, speed and a human approach—every deliverable is carefully edited and provided on time. If you want portraits that tell your story while remaining professionally presented, get in touch and we’ll create images that work for you.
