Šárka Stejskalová

I am Šárka Stejskalová, a portrait photographer based in České Budějovice. My work focuses on portrait photography that captures natural presence and genuine emotion — whether it’s an individual portrait, a corporate headshot for LinkedIn, or a favourite image to hang at home. My photographic approach is gentle and unobtrusive: I believe the best images appear when people feel relaxed and can be themselves. Why choose me? I create portraits that don’t feel posed or artificial. I work with natural light and comfortable, thoughtfully prepared interiors, and I often choose outdoor locations around České Budějovice where the surrounding nature adds a soft, atmospheric touch. As a portrait photographer I pay close attention to composition, expression and lighting so the final photographs are authentic, timeless and suitable for both personal and professional use. How does the collaboration work? First we talk about your wishes — which style you prefer, where you want to be photographed, and how you plan to use the images (private, company, LinkedIn). During the session I prioritize comfort and a calm atmosphere; I’ll gently guide you to capture natural poses and spontaneous moments. After we select the images, each photograph is edited in my authorial style with subtle color corrections and the use of wide aperture to achieve pleasant background blur. Although my specialty is portrait photography, I also work closely in related areas such as family and maternity photography. For business clients I offer professional corporate portraits and business headshots ideal for presenting yourself on LinkedIn or a company website. I’m flexible and happy to find the solution that best represents your personality or corporate identity. Photography for me is not only a job — it’s a passion and a way to preserve important moments. If you are looking for a portrait photographer in České Budějovice who works with attention to detail and sincere aesthetics, I would be delighted to hear from you.
