Professional Cat Photography | Prague & Central Bohemia

Natural portraits of your cat in the comfort of your home. Stress-free and with patience.

Welcome

Professional cat photographer here!

Cats, just like dogs, are family members, but they rarely have photographs to remember them by. It's time to change that! My name is Oliver, and photograph cats in the comfort of your home

Forget blurry phone photos. I will create a gallery that captures your cat’s unique character in the best possible light. The entire session takes place at your home using professional studio equipment, patiently, professionally, and with results you’ll be proud to display on your wall.

About me

About me

Portrét fotografa Olivera Beneše držícího v náručí černobílou kočku

I primarily focus on weddings, couples, and events. However, after getting a glimpse behind the scenes of dog photography, I asked myself, how is it possible that cats don't really have their own professional photographers? And I decided to change that!

In my work, I combine the play of light, composition, and the unique emotions of each cat, treating the session just as I would a human portrait. Cats are strong personalities, and the path to winning them over can be unpredictable. But it is precisely this individuality that draws me to them. Working with cats requires a significant amount of patience and empathy - it’s definitely not for everyone. 

Yet, I’ve truly found myself in this, and I would be delighted to create photos for you that serve as the unique memory of your furry companion.

Questions and Answers

You ask

The session takes place simply at your home. I bring all the professional equipment and lighting with me. I am based in Prague and its surroundings, but I am happy to travel wherever you need :).

Literally every photo you see on this website was taken in a completely regular home. By using long lenses and playing with light, I can highlight the most beautiful aspects of your space. You can read more about how to best prepare your home for a session here.

When it comes to cat photography, patience is the most important tool. I am never in a rush; upon arrival, I take the time to get to know your cat and let them sniff the equipment. The session itself lasts on average 3-5 hours (don't worry, there are plenty of "cat breaks"). Some cats are ready to go immediately, while others might hide under the sofa for the first hour before coming out. So far, I’ve been lucky - even the shyer ones eventually come out to pose.

Of course! I would be more than happy to take a photo of you together. Just don’t forget to prepare yourself for the shot too!

How Does It Work?

Package Order and Arrangement

Fill out the contact form and send your inquiry. I will get back to you, and together we’ll arrange a date and discuss your vision and expectations.

Arrival and Meeting Your Cat

On the scheduled day, I’ll arrive at your home with all my equipment. First, I’ll take the time to calmly get to know your cat, letting them sniff the equipment so they aren't afraid and have time to get used to me. There's no rush; it's important that the cat feels good and relaxed before we start shooting.

Photography in a Natural Environment

I photograph directly in your home, where your cat feels most comfortable. No stress from unfamiliar surroundings! I capture natural moments using a combination of available light and my own professional lighting.

Selection, Editing, Payment, and Delivery of Photos

Within 14 days after the session, I will send you previews of all the best shots for you to pick your favorites. I then carefully retouch your selection and deliver them via a private online gallery, where you can view and download them once the invoice is settled.
