Portrait specialist in Ostrava. Ladislav Macha creates natural, professional portraits in studio and on location — including corporate headshots for LinkedIn, websites, print and online use.
I am a portrait photographer from the Ostrava region, and my priority is to create portraits that feel natural and tell the story of the person in front of the lens. After nearly 20 years of practice I have developed a sensitivity to light, composition and the decisive moments that turn an ordinary shot into an authentic portrait. I work primarily in the calm atmosphere of my own photo studio located in a Renaissance chateau so that the session is a pleasant experience—even for those who feel uneasy in front of the camera. Why choose me? I specialize in portrait photography and rely on a personal approach: I take time to prepare, agree on style, tone of communication and expectations before the shoot. I guide clients during the session with gentle direction, pose demonstrations and expression adjustments so the final images look natural, confident and are suitable for family albums as well as professional presentation. My approach combines technical precision with empathy. I work with both studio lighting and natural light, selecting color balance and backgrounds according to the client’s character and the intended use of the image. For business portraits I emphasize representativeness and usability for corporate websites, LinkedIn or print materials—avoiding exaggerated poses and focusing on professionalism and authenticity. How collaboration works: first we briefly discuss your ideas (by phone or e‑mail), then agree on location and style. I allow enough time during the shoot to capture calm, expressive images. After the session I send previews and we choose the photos to be edited together—retouching is done sensitively to preserve a natural appearance. The result is high-quality digital files ready for print and online use. I primarily serve Ostrava and the surrounding area but am happy to travel to meet clients’ needs. If you are looking for a portrait photographer who combines experience, a friendly atmosphere and professional results, I would be glad to help create portraits that you will enjoy for years to come.
