Karolína Novotná Photography

As a portrait photographer based in Opava, I focus on capturing the naturalness, elegance and emotion that make each portrait unique. My job is to create images that present you in the best possible light—whether it’s a personal portrait, a business headshot for LinkedIn, or a stylish studio portrait. I believe a great portrait grows from trust, calm and the right timing; my aim is to ensure clients feel comfortable and can be themselves throughout the session. My approach combines soft, flattering light, a keen sense of composition and gentle direction. I work with natural light outdoors as well as with a carefully crafted atmosphere in the studio—always paying attention to detail, tone and expression to highlight your personality. I guide poses, facial expressions and setting choices so the final photos look authentic, timeless and professional. Retouching is done sensitively to preserve the natural character of the images while ensuring a polished result. How does a session work? First we talk about your ideas and the portrait’s purpose—whether you need images for personal use, corporate presentation or a special occasion. Together we choose the location (nature, water, studio) and the shooting style that best suits your goals. On the day of the shoot I create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere so even those who feel nervous in front of the camera gain confident, natural-looking shots. I am a photographer from Opava and have been actively working since 2020. I bring a thoughtful, patient approach and experience photographing children and animals, which contributes to an empathetic and calm working style in every portrait session. If you are looking for a portrait photographer who values authenticity, subtle aesthetics and professional output, I would be happy to create photographs you will enjoy viewing and using for years to come. Whether you need a fresh LinkedIn headshot, a timeless studio portrait, or relaxed outdoor images, I’m here to help you look and feel your best.
