Yaroslav Monchak
I am Yaroslav Monchak, Canon Ambassador and professional photographer based in Switzerland. My work spans the whole country, from Zurich and Geneva to Lausanne, Bern, Basel, Vevey, and Montreux. I create powerful and authentic images for both businesses and private clients – portraits that inspire trust, product photography that strengthens brands, and event coverage that preserves key moments. Every session is designed to reflect personality, professionalism, and atmosphere. Whether in a corporate setting, a creative studio, or outdoors by Lake Geneva, my approach combines technical expertise with artistic vision.

Behind
the scenes
Photography is not only about the final image, but also about the creative process.
These backstage moments show how I work with light, space, and people — from intimate portraits in the studio to large-scale projects on location.
They reflect my philosophy: every detail matters, and authentic emotions are always at the center of my work.
In this video, the Creative Director of WIX thanks me for the photography work I created for their company — a moment of trust and recognition.

Business Portraits & Corporate Photography
In today’s professional world, a strong image is more than a headshot – it is your calling card. My business portraits are designed for executives, entrepreneurs, and teams who want to present themselves with confidence and authenticity. Clients in Zurich and Bern often book corporate sessions for LinkedIn, company websites, and press releases. With refined lighting, modern equipment, and a natural approach, I create portraits that project credibility while keeping a personal touch.
Team & Company Photography
Great teams deserve to be shown in the best light. Beyond individual portraits, I offer team and staff photography that communicates company culture. Capturing employees in their workspace or creating dynamic group portraits allows businesses to stand out with authentic visuals instead of stock images. In Geneva and Basel, I often work with international companies that want to highlight diversity and collaboration through professional imagery.
Product, Branding & E-Commerce Photography
A product image is often the first impression a customer gets. High-quality photography is essential for e-commerce, catalogues, and advertising. I work with brands in Lausanne, Vevey, and Zurich, creating clean product shots for online stores as well as creative branding visuals for campaigns. Professional product photography builds trust, increases sales, and ensures that your brand is represented consistently across platforms.
Corporate Events & Conferences
From global conferences in Geneva to product launches in Zurich, I cover events with a balance of reportage style and professional composition. My event photography captures atmosphere, interactions, and key highlights. Clients use these images for PR, social media, and internal communications. Each project is approached with discretion and precision, ensuring every important moment is preserved.
Lifestyle, Portrait & Artistic Photography
Photography is also deeply personal. For private clients, I create professional portraits for CVs, LinkedIn, and personal branding, as well as lifestyle sessions in Lausanne, Zurich, or Montreux. I also work on streetstyle and editorial projects, along with boudoir and artistic portraits that emphasize elegance and authenticity. These sessions combine professional direction with the freedom for clients to express themselves naturally. The result is portraits that feel authentic, modern, and timeless.
Working Across Switzerland
Switzerland is diverse in culture and landscape, and so are my photography sessions. I work in Zurich on business portraits and conferences, cover international events in Geneva, create lifestyle and product shoots in Lausanne and Vevey, and capture professional portraits in Bern. In Basel I focus on product and corporate photography, while Montreux offers a scenic backdrop for lifestyle sessions. This national reach allows me to adapt to each city’s unique atmosphere while maintaining a consistent professional standard.
Why Work With a Canon Ambassador?
As a Canon Ambassador, I bring international recognition and technical expertise to every project. This role reflects my commitment to photography at the highest level. It also ensures that my clients benefit from the latest professional standards and a vision shaped by years of collaboration with global brands.
Whether you are a business looking to strengthen your brand or a private client seeking portraits that capture personality, I offer tailored photography sessions across Switzerland.
