Personal Brand Photographer in Switzerland

Photos for your personal brand — without feeling awkward in front of the camera

You're launching your coaching practice, your consulting, your own business. You need photos for your website and social media — but you've never been a model, and you're not sure how this should even feel.

I don't force you to pose, and I don't teach you how to be in front of the camera. I create the right atmosphere and guide the situation — so you can feel natural, confident, and simply be yourself at your best.

Sessions from CHF 290 · 10 retouched photos · ready in 2 days

Personal brand photography by Yaroslav Monchak — natural portraits for entrepreneurs and professionals in Switzerland

You're worried you'll look stiff or awkward.
That's normal.

Here's what I hear most often — and what actually happens.

  • You don’t need to pose or perform for the camera. I gently guide the process in the background, so you can relax, feel like yourself, and be photographed from your best angle.

  • The people in my portfolio aren't models either. They're coaches, consultants, founders — people who came in nervous and left with photos they actually like. Lighting, angle, and the right moment do 90% of the work.

  • Once you book, I send you a simple preparation guide — what to bring, how to prep, what works on camera. We talk before the session, so you arrive knowing exactly what to expect.

Who I work with

— Coaches launching their practice
— life, executive, health, business
— Therapists, psychologists and nutritionists with their own clients
— Consultants and freelancers building a personal brand
— Course creators, speakers and authors
— Entrepreneurs starting their service or product

If you're building something of your own and need visuals that reflect who you are — you're in the right place.

What to expect

1 — We talk before the session
A short call or message about you, your style, and what you need the photos for. I send a simple preparation guide with advice on what to bring, how to prepare, and how to feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

2 — You arrive at the studio in Vevey
Everything is already set up: light, backdrops, and the right mood in the space. You just walk in and settle in. We start with a coffee, look at outfits together, and ease into the session naturally.

3 — Natural, discreet guidance
You do not need to know how to pose. I take care of the light, framing, atmosphere, and timing, while guiding you naturally and discreetly. You stay yourself, without pressure or pretending.

4 — You receive your photos
Within 2 to 5 business days, I send you a private gallery. You choose your favorites, I retouch them carefully, and you receive final photos ready for your personal brand, website, and online presence.
