Kurt Vinion Photography

As a specialist in portrait photography, I create images in Smíchov and the surrounding area that combine documentary sensitivity with gallery-worthy aesthetics. My approach blends a photojournalistic eye for the decisive moment with a delicate, filmic aesthetic — producing portraits that never feel posed but always read as strong, timeless and authentic. I have worked in photography for decades. Studies in photojournalism, collaborations with respected mentors and international experience have taught me to see both expression and light in ways that yield images with genuine emotional impact. My process is structured: we begin with a personal consultation so I understand your intent — whether it’s a private portrait, a professional business portrait or a LinkedIn headshot meant to represent your personal brand. On set I prioritise comfort and naturalness. I use a gentle, conversational method to guide and suggest poses so even the most camera‑shy subjects can appear confident. I offer both studio sessions and on-location shoots across Prague and Smíchov, choosing environments and lighting that best complement the subject’s expression and personality. When needed, I collaborate with makeup artists and stylists to ensure a consistent, professional result. For corporate clients I take a strategic approach: business portraits are prepared to work across online profiles and print materials. LinkedIn headshots are edited with respect for authenticity — retouching is subtle and aimed at an elegant, professional impression rather than an airbrushed look. Choose me if you’re looking for a portrait photographer grounded in empathy, technical skill and an editorial sensibility. I will create portraits that capture not only appearance but character — images you’ll be proud to share and that will endure for decades.
