Fotograf Ondřej Raffel

I’m Ondřej Raffel and portrait photography is my main specialty. In Písek and the surrounding area I create portraits that emphasize personality, authenticity and naturalness — whether you need images for social media, your CV or a professional presentation. My work isn’t about exaggerated posing but about helping people feel like themselves in front of the lens. It’s from that naturalness that the most compelling portraits arise. My approach is relaxed and friendly. In an initial conversation we clarify the impression you want to convey, and I choose lighting, location and the tonal style of the images accordingly. I enjoy shooting both outdoors and indoors — true moments happen where you feel at home. I guide clients with gentle directions, helping with posture and expression so the result is authentic, confident portraits rather than forced poses. As a portrait photographer I focus on the atmosphere during the shoot and on careful refinement of the final images. Because a portrait often serves a personal or professional purpose, I pay attention to details such as expression, composition and color grading so the photograph works where you need it — whether that’s on LinkedIn, a website or in printed materials. For corporate clients I approach headshots and team portraits with respect for corporate identity: professional yet human portrayals that help build trust and a strong first impression. I work with individual clients and teams to deliver photographs that truly represent how you want to be perceived. Photography for me is more than a job — it’s a passion that began as an interest and gradually developed into focused practice. If you want portraits that are natural, communicative and professional, get in touch. I’ll be happy to discuss your idea, suggest locations and create portraits you’ll be proud to use.
