About Us
We take your professional portrait seriously. Not because it's trendy, but because that image represents you—and we get that matters. Since we started, we've watched headshots evolve from basic ID photos to something more nuanced. Something honest. We work in natural light whenever possible, because fluorescent glare doesn't do anyone favors. Our studio in Plzeň has seen thousands of professionals walk through the door nervous. They leave with images they actually like. That's the whole point.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.
Our Story
Started in 2011 by a photographer tired of cookie-cutter corporate sessions. The early years involved a lot of trial and error—blown out backgrounds, awkward poses, clients grimacing at the results. Around year 3, we shifted to natural light and longer sessions. People started returning. Then referring others. By 2015, we'd photographed 200+ professionals. Now it's closer to 1,200. We've stayed in the same studio space because it works. We know the light at 10am and 3pm. We've kept the same approach because it works too.

Our Mission
Create photographs that capture who you actually are—not some manufactured version. We believe good headshots require patience, decent light, and someone who listens more than directs. Our job is making the camera disappear so your personality shows through.
Our Vision
A world where professional portraits feel genuine instead of stiff. Where business leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs have images they're proud to use—on LinkedIn, websites, or printed materials. Pictures that open doors because they're honest.

Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Honesty
No filters masking who you're. No weird angles hiding reality. We photograph what's there, then enhance it thoughtfully.
Patience
Good portraits take time. We don't rush sessions or pack too many people into one day. You get attention.
Natural Light
Whenever possible. Sunlight has character that studio strobes can't match. It reveals texture and depth that people connect with.
Simplicity
Minimal backgrounds. Uncomplicated posing. The focus stays on you, not distracting scenery or props.
