As a business photographer in Vienna, I bring a professional studio setup directly to your office. I specialise in headshots, team portraits and employer branding imagery that feel genuine and professional. The aim is simple: show the real people behind the business. When prospective clients see who they will be working with, trust builds naturally long before the first meeting. I can also capture candid workplace moments and behind-the-scenes shots to give a true sense of your company culture. 

Every session is planned around your schedule, keeping things relaxed and efficient from start to finish. Throughout the shoot, the camera is connected to a laptop or iPad so you can review and choose images as they are taken. This removes guesswork, speeds up approvals and cuts out long chains of email. The results is a clear selection of polished photos, ready for your website, client proposals and internal communications.

Styled product photography builds connection and desire. By using carefully arranged sets, interesting lighting and thoughtful composition, these images place the product in a context that feels aspirational and real. 

E-commerce photography is built around clarity and accuracy. I photograph each item from multiple angles to capture true colour, shape and texture, giving customers confidence before they buy.

The result is a complete visual library: precise detail shots for shopping, plus compelling hero images that capture attention and support your marketing campaigns.

When your business is built around you, people buy from you, not from a logo. As a personal branding photographer in Vienna, I create portraits and lifestyle photos that show who you are, how you work and what it feels like to work with you, ready for your website, LinkedIn, social media and print. No experience in front of the camera needed: I guide you all the way.

Clients often choose an architect or designer based on the strength of their portfolio. The quality of the photography directly shapes that decision. I deliver images that showcase your design intent with clarity, helping you secure future commissions, award submissions and publication features. Every project begins with careful planning. I study how natural light moves through a space throughout the day, select the strongest angles and produce a set of photos that truly reflects the standard of your work.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt Banton as my videographer in Vienna, and the experience was beyond my expectations. As someone starting an online training business, I knew finding the right videographer was crucial to convey my ideas and message effectively. From our initial meeting, it was evident that Matt was not just friendly and easy to communicate with, but deeply invested in understanding my vision.

During our initial meeting, Matt presented an exceptional storyboard for my online training course, highlighting his impeccable storyboarding skills. It captured the essence of my ideas and translated them into a visually compelling narrative. It was clear that Matt was committed to ensuring that every detail of my concept was brought to life on screen.

During the actual filming process, Matt's professionalism was not just evident, it was a guiding force. His calm demeanour and polite nature helped ease any nerves I had about being in front of the camera, especially as someone with limited experience in that regard. Matt's expertise shone through every step of the way, making the entire process not just smooth, but enjoyable and stress-free.

Overall, I cannot recommend Matt Banton highly enough. His dedication to his craft is not just admirable, it's unique, and coupled with his exceptional skills as a videographer, it truly sets him apart as a standout professional in his field. If you're in need of top-notch videography services in Vienna, whether it's for corporate events, online courses, or personal projects, look no further than Matt Banton. It's no surprise that I give his service a well-deserved 5-star rating.

It was a real pleasure working with Matt!

He helped me set up two filming zones with completely different requirements, and the results were excellent. Matt was incredibly patient and open to experimenting with different approaches until we got everything just right.

What I appreciated most was his ability to understand what I was trying to achieve with the lighting, even when I couldn't quite articulate it myself. I think this is an incredibly valuable quality in someone working in a creative field, and it really speaks to Matt's expertise.

When it comes to equipment, Matt is refreshingly straightforward about what you need and what you don't. Rather than pushing unnecessary purchases, he'll show you how to get the most out of what you already have.

On a personal note, Matt is very polite, friendly, and approachable. He clearly understands how creative minds work while remaining practical and business-minded.

I'm really looking forward to working with him again soon!

Thank you, Matt!

Over the past few years I have tried many photographers for different occasions.

Amount all I have to say Matt is by far the most creative and experienced photographer.

On top of that he is very punctual, easygoing and a nice person.

Very glad to have have found someone professional who gives you high quality and creative pictures.

I'm absolutely delighted with the photos for my new practice website. The shoot included individual portraits, team photos, action shots, and architectural photography, everything was executed with great professionalism and a fantastic eye for detail.

It was especially convenient that we could follow the images live on an iPad during the shoot. This allowed us to immediately select favourites and make minor adjustments on the spot.

The atmosphere was pleasant, relaxed, and highly professional. The result is a collection of natural, expressive photos that perfectly capture the character of my practice. Thank you so much for the outstanding work!

FAQ

Working with a photographer and videographer in Vienna

The questions people ask before their first project.

Brands and companies of every size: start-ups and established businesses, hospitality brands, NGOs, embassies and international companies. Some are based in Vienna, others fly in to shoot here. What they have in common is that their photos and films have a job to do.

They do the introducing for you. People look you up before they get in touch, and what they see decides whether they do: your team, your work, your product, your space. Good photos and films answer the first questions before anyone has to ask them.

In four steps. First a call about your goals, your audience and where the photos or film will be used, followed by a tailored offer. Then a clear plan: mood board or treatment, shot list and schedule, so everyone knows what happens on the day. On the shoot I direct every setup. Finally the photos are retouched or the film is edited and graded, and you get files ready to use.

Every project is priced on its own, because no two are alike: shoot days, crew, locations and how the images will be used all shape the cost. After our first call you get a tailored, no-obligation offer, so you know exactly what's included before you decide.

Yes, and it often makes sense: one plan, one point of contact and one look across everything. Depending on the project we split the day, give each its own day, or work scene by scene: set up, photograph, film, then move on. We plan whichever suits your shoot.

Yes. Most of the time I'm hired to shoot and edit, so one person looks after your film from start to finish. If you already have an editor, I can work as a camera operator only and supply the footage.

Both. Smaller shoots I handle on my own, which keeps them simple and the budget lean. For bigger productions I bring in trusted freelancers chosen for the job, such as a second camera, lighting, sound or hair and makeup. You keep one point of contact from the first call to the final files.

Not at all, and it won't show in the photos. I guide you through every pose and every take, from how you stand to where you look, and on most photo shoots you see each picture on a screen as it's taken.

It depends on the project. Business portraits usually arrive 1 to 5 days after the shoot, and films take 2 to 6 weeks after the shoot day. I can work to deadlines and ensure everything is delivered in time.

Yes. Vienna is home, and I work across Austria, the rest of Europe and the UK. Planning and feedback can happen by in person or by phone or video call, so often only the shoot needs us in the same place.

English is my native language and I work in English. I speak a little German and Im slowly improving. Documents and films, where needed, can be in German too.
