/// 01_WHO_I_AM
I'm Ondřej Grygařík, a portrait photographer based in Ostrava, focused on cosplay. Since 2023, photography has been my main creative outlet - a way to collaborate with talented creators and help bring their characters to life.
Most of my work combines natural light and flash with real-world environments like nature surroundings and urban locations. At the same time, I also enjoy working in controlled studio settings.
/// 02_MY_STYLE_&_APPROACH
My work is built on clean composition and strong subject separation so the character stands out clearly from the background.
I prefer accurate, true-to-life colors and controlled editing over heavy stylization. I aim to preserve the original look while keeping details sharp and well defined.
Collaboration is an important part of my process. I'm always open to discussing mood, location, and character traits to make sure the final result matches your vision.
/// 03_WHY_COSPLAY_PHOTOGRAPHY
My background in product photography taught me that small details can define the entire image. I apply the same mindset to cosplay.
Costumes require time, skill, and precision, and I respect the work behind each one. My goal is to present your character clearly and confidently, so the final images represent both your effort and the character faithfully.
/// 04_BEYOND_PHOTOGRAPHY
Outside of photography, I study Computer Science at the Technical University of Ostrava (VŠB) and work part-time at Vivicta.
I'm interested in hardware, electronics, and programming, and I enjoy understanding how technical systems work. This structured, technical mindset also influences how I approach lighting, equipment, and post-production.
