Questions, answered.
If you need the main photo set or the recap video within 24 hours to keep the event hype alive, rush delivery can be arranged for an additional fee. Just let me know in your brief.
Yes. Intimate gigs usually have the best atmosphere. Having high-end content from a smaller night builds massive credibility and helps pack the venue for your next event. The size of the crowd doesn’t matter; the vibe does.
A custom session built around your identity. Studio, outdoor, or raw urbex locations - it’s entirely up to you. You’ll get high-end photo assets for your promos and socials, with a short promo video available as an add-on.
Pretty much anything you can think of. BTS, vlogs, multicams, or short-form recap add-ons - there are no rigid templates here. Tell me what you need for your rollout, and we’ll make it happen.
Absolutely - that’s the main goal. While I’m based in Ostrava and frequently work across the Czech Republic, I’m actively pushing boundaries. I’ve done shows in Germany, Austria, and Slovakia, and I’m ready to fly around the globe for the right project. Let’s sort the logistics and make it happen.
Full-frame Sony setup built for low light - fast primes for dark clubs, wide glass for the big stage moments, and a versatile zoom to cover everything in between. For multicam and large productions I scale up with extra bodies and heavy gear to match the project. Long story short: the tech is covered, so we can just focus on making the final content look insane.

Pretty photos don't sell tickets. The right ones do.
I'm Marek, based in Ostrava. I've been shooting clubs since I was 16 - a classmate pulled me in as his second shooter, the room caught me, and it never let go. A few gigs in, a DJ messaged me at midnight: their photographer had bailed, could I get to Fabric. I said yes, shot it, and that was the night this became the plan.
What sets me apart is that I don't carry the artist ego. I'm not chasing the frame that makes me feel like a genius, I'm chasing the one that sells out your next event. I follow what's working right now and build every photo set and recap around what you actually need - your night as a marketing tool, not my portfolio. The DJs I shoot keep telling me the same two things: everyone else makes them look rough, and nobody in the Czech scene cuts a recap like mine.
Photo was my first love, and video came next - I shoot both because one freezes the moment and the other puts you right back in it. I'm a total gear nerd, I obsess over the light and the smallest details, and I still never lose the room while I'm doing it. I work alone - photo and video in one pair of hands - and in a few years I've gone from a small Ostrava club to one of the biggest festivals in Europe. The plan from here is simple: worldwide, and one day my own crew.
