Photographer

Jiří Wasserbauer

I photograph corporate events, conferences, openings and other events full of people. I can perfectly capture everything happening, the atmosphere, the right emotions... and deliver the photos before you even come up with a caption.

01 About me

Photographer
with a marketing edge

I studied Management and Marketing of Foreign Trade, I am a DigiSemestr graduate, and marketing still partly pays the bills…

That is also why I know exactly how to shoot a photo that works for marketing purposes.

I always look for ways to include your logo in the frame, think about negative space for potential text, choose a composition so the same photo can be used both in landscape and portrait, and above all — how to get the right emotions into the shot.

By thinking about all these things while shooting, I save you a lot of hassle, time and money later… and most importantly, I deliver the perfect photos for future promotions.

02 My Superpowers

What are my superpowers

I thought long and hard about what to put first, and in the end I chose the quality most demanded nowadays — speed. But for me personally, the favourite is still the last one — the 6th sense. It is what makes my photos what they are. Full of emotions and life.

6th sense

I love psychology, and body language in particular. It tells me exactly where to expect which emotion. And then all I need to do is capture it.

Speed

During DigiSemestr I delivered photos so fast that by the time a speaker finished their talk, they already had a link to their first photos.

Quality

I have top-of-the-market photo equipment and I am a perfectionist with imposter syndrome. You can count on 100% output.

Experience

The number gets harder to say out loud, but it is true — I have been shooting for over 25 years. And I know how to put all that experience to good use.

03 Reference

Some events where we may have already met

I come from Strážnice, a charming little town in southern Moravia, but I shoot all over Europe. I feel most „at home" in Brno and Prague, where most of my clients are based. Below you can see some of the many events I have had the honour of photographing during my 25 years of practice.

Packed auditorium of the Janáček Theatre during Marketing Festival

Marketing festival

Conference · 1,200 attendees · 5 days of shooting · 4 photographers · real-time editing

We have been the official photographers since 2024. We shoot this 5-day photo marathon as a 4-person team and, alongside the main event coverage at Janáček Theatre, we cover all approx. 30 workshops, parties, etc. Ongoing editing of selected photos and delivery to the social media team is a standard part of the service.

Hack Your Way

Conference · 1,200 attendees · 5 days of shooting · 4 photographers · real-time editing

Jindra Fáborský founded this conference — focused on AI and more — as a counterpart to the Marketing Festival he also organises. He calls it the „cheeky brother of Marketing Festival," and as his go-to photographer I had the honour of being there for the first edition. I look forward to seeing you this year too.

Conference · 1,200 attendees · 5 days of shooting · 4 photographers · real-time editing

I have shot the AI conference „The Rules Have Changed" twice already. The first time at Kumšt, and last year at the Brno Observatory, where I was also one of the official partners. I am genuinely impressed by how far the team has taken it in just one year. I can not wait to shoot this year's edition.

LI Summit

Conference · 500 attendees · 8 hours of shooting · 1 photographer · next-day editing

Martin Hošek first invited me to shoot LI SUMMIT in 2025. His event focuses on the LinkedIn community and is packed with talks by personalities from the platform — not just from the Czech Republic, but from abroad too. And apparently we will meet again in 2026. I am already curious what new things I will learn about my favourite social network from the best in the field.

AIbility events

Events and training sessions · typically 8 hours of shooting · 1 photographer · next-day editing

In 2025 I photographed the majority of Aibility's main events. I covered all of them with a photo report, and at some I also recorded short video interviews with participants. The first photos were always delivered the same evening, with the remaining photos (including „raw" videos for the social media team to edit) the following day.

CityZen events

Grand openings · 8 hours of shooting · 1 photographer · next-day editing

I have been photographing new CityZen store openings since 2024. Beyond the „ribbon cutting" and the subsequent „buzz around customers," I always deliver promo shots of the empty store for use on the web and social media. The first photos were delivered on the day of the event, the rest the following day.

iStyle events

6 new iPhone launches · 7 store openings · 2 photographers

Before iStyle handed their marketing over to an external agency, I was the official photographer for all their major events. I shot midnight iPhone launches, new store openings, and B2B events. And one particular photo of mine even made it to Apple headquarters in London.

04 What I shoot

What I specialize in

I love photo reports. Those moments when I can roam around completely unnoticed with cameras at my hip, waiting for the most interesting moments of the event.

My goal is to sell your event in the best possible light, so your speakers get top photos they will happily share themselves, those who missed the event will be jealous just from the photos… and you of course get great material for social media, both as a look back at what happened and as promo for the next edition, website creation, etc.

But I can also help you with corporate lifestyle shots, promo photos of commercial spaces, and more.

Conferences & summits

On my own or with a team of professional colleagues, I deliver photo reports from conferences and summits of any scale. We are able to provide edited photos during the event, almost in real time, and cover multiple locations simultaneously.

Concerts & festivals

Concerts and festivals are where I started, and they remain my true passion to this day. Even though they no longer dominate my portfolio, I always enjoy shooting one.

Training & workshops

Training „one on one" or for hundreds of people — always full of emotions and energy that grab attention and make people stop.

Promo, reference & lifestyle photography

From interior shots of hotels and guesthouses, to photographing all types of references for your portfolio, to relaxed lifestyle snapshots from offices and production floors.

Parties & openings

Corporate parties, gala events, exhibitions, vernissages, meetups — in short, places teeming with people. I love them... hidden behind my camera.

· Video

Video is not foreign to me either

No, I definitely do not consider myself a professional videographer who could produce a corporate promo video on demand. On the other hand, video is something I enjoy more and more — who knows what the next few years will bring…

Video for social media

If the client wishes (and there is time at the event), I can also shoot simpler videos as part of the photo report — for example for social media or basic documentation purposes.

Video interviews

My kit also includes lapel microphones and studio LED lighting, so I am able to shoot interviews in professional image and audio quality.

Professional video

I work closely with top professional videographers, which is why I also offer demanding clients a full-service package covering both photography and video for events (and beyond).

06 Client testimonials

What those I have already photographed think about my work

I’ve been working with Jiří Wasserbauer for over three years, and I can happily recommend him. He’s a true perfectionist—always aiming to deliver not just 100%, but more. Whether it’s about the quality or the sheer volume of work, Jiří consistently goes above and beyond. As a photographer, he combines talent, experience, and a sharp eye for those moments you really want captured—especially at events. His photos are an investment that pays off, particularly when it comes to promoting future editions. But what stands out the most is his mindset. Jiří doesn’t just show up with a camera—he approaches every project as a business partner. He cares about your goals and does whatever he can to help you meet them. It’s a great feeling knowing he’s on your side.

Working with Jirka is always great. His photos are excellent and perfectly capture the atmosphere of our events. You can tell he genuinely enjoys his work and is interested in our topics too, and I feel that always shows in the final result. He is also very easy-going, which makes communicating with him a pleasure. Highly recommend :)

Jirka is an amazing professional! Not only does he shoot brilliantly, but I really appreciate his approach to clients, the service before and after… Outstanding! If you get even a small chance — I recommend trying him! Oh and did I mention the wonderful photos? 🧡

I had the honour of working with Jiří as a photographer at several events. His ability to capture the right moment during a live performance is exceptional. The live photos he provided are among the best I have ever seen. His eye for detail, light and professional approach make him not only a great photographer but also a reliable partner. If you are looking for someone who can capture the atmosphere and emotion in every shot, Jiří is definitely the right choice.

Jirka is a professional par excellence — he can capture the moment of a moment perfectly, taking your photos to a completely different level. His photo reports are a perfect example of what event photos should look like. Jirka simply has a gift for capturing emotion. I have had the honour of experiencing Jirka's work 3 times already and I look forward to inviting him to collaborate on our upcoming event. Thank you for doing it from the heart. 🎩

While moderating the Hack Your Way conference (and on a few previous occasions) I had the chance to watch Jirka at work. I hugely appreciate several things. Most of the time you are not even aware of him and he is shooting. Occasionally you notice him, he shoots openly and exchanges a few kind words with an endless smile. I suspect this be/not-be-visible approach is a carefully considered strategy of a professional event photographer. And the best part last — by the afternoon he was already sending me a link to the morning's photos. That is exactly what you want at big events. Jirka is definitely the kind of partner you want in your contacts. I look forward to organising an event and being able to reach out to him for collaboration.

A party for dozens, lectures for 200 or conferences for thousands. Jirka handled all of it with ease. And from what I hear, that is just the beginning 🔥 I recommend Jirka and his team everywhere I go. Great talent and amazing (fast and efficient) communication 🙏

We had the pleasure of working together on multiple events. Jirka always manages to capture not only the key moments but also the atmosphere of the entire event — from small details to the overall dynamics. He is very friendly and empathetic, which suits his role perfectly. I recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who can create not only beautiful images but also a visual story you will want to look at again and again.

Shooting with Jirka is a joy. There is a light-hearted and cheerful atmosphere, Jirka has a great „eye" and the result is natural yet very professional photos. Jirka keeps not only his camera but also his word and deadlines. That is something to be valued these days. :)

Jirka photographed us at several events and every time the photos were great. You can tell he always thinks ahead while shooting. Which shots with which background will be great for sharing. He can perfectly capture interesting moments and is always in the best position. Sharing the photos on the same day is always the cherry on top. I recommend Jirka 👍

To photograph someone with as strong a resting bitch face as me really takes talent. And on top of that to edit it so fast I could almost add it to my closing presentation slide? So far only Jirka has managed that. Many thanks! 👏

I would like to share my experience with photographer Jiří, because when you are happy with something, you are glad to pass on the recommendation. I have been using a photo by Jiří as my profile picture for over two years and I have no plans to change it — that speaks for itself. Jiří truly excels at capturing candid moments and emotions. He can imprint the atmosphere and story into a photo so that you can relive that moment every time you look at it. If you are looking for a photographer who can capture more than just an image, Jiří is the clear choice. Highly recommended!

I really hate being photographed. I do not consider myself photogenic, I do not like looking at my own photos, I tend to hide behind a camera. It is a battle with me. Most of the nice event photos I am happy to share were taken by Jirka. I do not know how he does it. Whether it is his unobtrusiveness. His feel for the moment. God-given talent. He simply has it. Jirko, thank you for making me look at myself a little more willingly and for giving me something to work with :-)

Jirka Wasserbauer is the photographer you want at your event. He moves discreetly around the venue loaded with gear like a guy from a cyberpunk western, but the results are excellent — emotions, atmosphere and unrepeatable moments. He has a great eye for detail and composition, delivers photos at record speed and thinks about the goal of the event, not just the shot. In short: a pro who delivers material that will actually help you. 🔥

07 Pricing

And how much will it cost!?

I always aim for maximum transparency (not only in terms of pricing), so below you will find my basic service packages, which we can use as a starting point when quoting your project. However, I can only provide a specific price after learning all the necessary details.

Quick shoot

Got an important press conference? Organising a short meetup and need photos to promo the next one? Want to document how your construction project has progressed, or professionally photograph a new reference for your portfolio? Then this package is the ideal choice for you…

  • 1–2 hours of shooting

    If needed (and if I have no further events in my calendar), it is possible to agree on an extension on the spot.

  • 50–150 photographs

    It is unfortunately not possible to specify an exact number of delivered photos as it depends on many variables (e.g. exactly what will be happening on site, whether it will be possible to shoot from multiple angles, the cooperation of the client, etc.). However, my goal is always to deliver the maximum possible number of photos, filtered only for duplicates or unflattering shots.

250 EUR
excl. VAT · free travel up to 25 km

Price is in euros (EUR) excluding VAT (I am a VAT payer). The package price includes free travel up to 25 km from the town of Strážnice (Hodonín district). Beyond that distance, a rate of €0.50 per additional kilometre is charged.

This is exactly what I need

Half day

A favourite package for smaller companies and early-stage startups that need professional lifestyle photos for a new website and social media. At the same time, the 4-hour package is enough to cover a shorter workshop, training session, or the beginning (the „publishable part") of a corporate party.

  • 4 hours of shooting

    If needed (and if I have no further events in my calendar), it is possible to agree on an extension on the spot.

  • 100–300 photographs

    It is unfortunately not possible to specify an exact number of delivered photos as it depends on many variables (e.g. exactly what will be happening on site, whether it will be possible to shoot from multiple angles, the cooperation of the client, etc.). However, my goal is always to deliver the maximum possible number of photos, filtered only for duplicates or unflattering shots.

500 EUR
excl. VAT · free travel up to 50 km

Price is in euros (EUR) excluding VAT (I am a VAT payer). The package price includes free travel up to 50 km from the town of Strážnice (Hodonín district). Beyond that distance, a rate of €0.50 per additional kilometre is charged.

This is exactly what I need

Full day

What can I shoot in one „man-day"? You could say almost everything. From lifestyle shots of all departments of a larger company, to a photo report from a medium-sized conference, to a series of corporate references from various locations. A lot can be accomplished in a day… and on top of that — I love a challenge!

  • 8 hours of shooting

    If needed (and if I have no further events in my calendar), it is possible to agree on an extension on the spot.

  • 200–500 photographs

    It is unfortunately not possible to specify an exact number of delivered photos as it depends on many variables (e.g. exactly what will be happening on site, whether it will be possible to shoot from multiple angles, the cooperation of the client, etc.). However, my goal is always to deliver the maximum possible number of photos, filtered only for duplicates or unflattering shots.

1 000 EUR
excl. VAT · free travel up to 100 km

Price is in euros (EUR) excluding VAT (I am a VAT payer). The package price includes free travel up to 100 km from the town of Strážnice (Hodonín district). Beyond that distance, a rate of €0.50 per additional kilometre is charged.

This is exactly what I need

Photomarathon

In our south of Moravia they say: „from can't-see to can't-see" (dawn to dusk) … and that probably describes this package best. It is the ideal choice for all-day events where everything needs to be captured — from backstage preparations before the event, through the event itself, to the evening afterparty. In short: telling the story from beginning to end.

  • 12–13 hours of shooting

    If needed (and if I have no further events in my calendar), it is possible to agree on an extension on the spot.

  • 400–1,000 photographs

    It is unfortunately not possible to specify an exact number of delivered photos as it depends on many variables (e.g. exactly what will be happening on site, whether it will be possible to shoot from multiple angles, the cooperation of the client, etc.). However, my goal is always to deliver the maximum possible number of photos, filtered only for duplicates or unflattering shots.

1 500 EUR
excl. VAT · free travel up to 200 km

Price is in euros (EUR) excluding VAT (I am a VAT payer). The package price includes free travel up to 200 km from the town of Strážnice (Hodonín district). Beyond that distance, a rate of €0.50 per additional kilometre is charged.

08 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

If you cannot find the answer you need here, please write to me

The standard delivery time is within one month of the shoot, but my goal is always to deliver the photos as soon as possible, so I typically deliver within approx. 2–3 weeks.

Yes, it is possible to pay extra for express photo processing. For delivery within 48 hours of the end of the shoot the surcharge is 25% of the total standard project price; for delivery within 24 hours it is 50%. It is also possible to deliver the first photos during the event itself, in which case the surcharge is 33% of the total standard project price, covering the work of an additional photographer who needs to be present at the event to handle both the photo report and the editing simultaneously.

I normally charge travel costs at €0.50/km, with the start and end of the journey in the town of Strážnice (Hodonín district). For larger packages I try to be flexible on transport costs. For shoots in Prague I have introduced a flat fee of €100, which I charge when I can travel by train (i.e. the shoot does not start before 9:30 and I do not need to bring heavy lighting equipment).

Unless we agree otherwise in advance, I deliver finished photos in print quality at the highest possible resolution in JPG format, in a password-protected online gallery accessible only to the client. I do not deliver unedited source files in RAW format.

I am primarily a photographer, but after prior agreement I can also deliver simpler videos — for example reels for social media. I can also handle shorter video interviews including quality audio. If a professional documentary or promo video is needed, I can arrange an external videographer colleague.
