Fotograf Martin Plíva

Hi — I'm Martin Plíva, a portrait photographer based in Jablonec nad Nisou. Portrait photography is a passion for me: it’s not just about capturing how someone looks, but showing who they really are. I work as a portrait specialist, focusing on creating a natural atmosphere, genuine emotion, and a personal story in every session. Why choose me? My strength is building rapport and putting even camera-shy people at ease. I believe that “one thing is to form an idea of how someone looks, another is to make a portrait of who they are.” I work with patience, conversation, and simple prompts so real moments emerge — without forced poses or stress. My approach is friendly and open. Before a shoot I like to discuss your ideas over coffee, so we can agree on style, locations, and the mood you want. During the session I create a calm environment, give space for natural expression, and guide you subtly so the finished portraits feel authentic and professional. I also offer tailored image retouching so the final photos suit your needs — whether they become personal keepsakes, professional corporate portraits, or a LinkedIn profile photo. I draw inspiration from spending time in the mountains and supporting the local music scene; the energy and authenticity of the world around me inform my style. That’s reflected in my preference for natural light, true expressions, and compositions that say something meaningful. I specialize in portrait photography and adapt flexibly to your requests — from personal portraits and professional corporate headshots to creative, author-driven projects. If you want a portrait that feels natural, emotive, and simultaneously professional, get in touch and we’ll arrange a session. I look forward to working together and creating a portrait that truly captures your personality.
