About me

I photograph what can't be repeated

I'm a photographer from Plzeň at the start of my journey — and I see that as a strength. I'm still building my name, so I pour my full attention and energy into every shoot. You're not just another booking in the queue; you're people whose moment I want to capture as well as I possibly can.

Photography began for me on trips and holidays — mostly aerial drone shots. The turning point came when my children were born. It started quietly: one photo every month to capture how my daughter was growing. Those monthly frames slowly grew into a genuine passion — themed sessions I staged with my wife at home. That journey is what taught me patience and a feel for the moment that won't come again.

Family photography is what fulfils me most — spontaneous laughter, a hug, a look you can't pose for. I shoot both outdoors and indoors, but natural light is my domain. I work calmly and without rush, so everyone feels at ease in front of the lens. Alongside families, I also cover wedding reportage, events and aerial drone shots.

Testimonials

What clients say

The shoot felt completely natural and the boys even enjoyed it — no one expected that. The photos are beautiful and full of emotion. Thank you so much!

Martina K.

Family session

We were looking for someone who doesn't feel like a photo machine. We found exactly that here. The photos arrived quickly and are precisely what we wanted.

Tomáš & Lucie

Karel captured our day exactly as we'd hoped — naturally, without unnecessary staging. The photos are full of emotion and we keep coming back to them. Thank you!

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

How long does editing take?

For family sessions and events, within 15 working days. For wedding reportage, expect 4–6 weeks — I carefully process every photo. If you need some of the photos sooner, we'll arrange it in advance.

Do you shoot outdoors and indoors?

I shoot both. For family sessions I prefer outdoors for the natural light, but at home works too. I shoot a wedding day according to the schedule — be it a church, a registry office or a garden. I'll adapt to you.

What should I wear for a family session?

Clothing in muted colours that suits you and feels comfortable. Avoid loud patterns and logos. Coordinated — but not uniform — colours work best. Leave the rest to me.

How does cancellation work?

A shoot can be rescheduled free of charge. In case of bad weather, we'll always set a new date.

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes! A photo session makes a great gift — for a birthday, Christmas or just because. Write to me and I'll prepare a voucher tailored exactly to you.

How are the photos handed over?

You'll receive the photos through a private online gallery — the link arrives by email. You download them in high resolution, and the gallery stays active for at least 3 months.
