schopho — Executive Stories & Wedding Stories by Peter Scholz, Editorial Photographer in Vienna

    Editorial portrait in candlelight by Peter Scholz – SCHOPHO Vienna

    Every story starts long before
    the first photograph.

    SCHOPHO tells stories through photography. Of people who carry responsibility and reveal their individuality. Of weddings as unique as the people celebrating them. And of creative ideas that evolve into extraordinary photographic work.

    Three distinct worlds, united by an eye for people, atmosphere and aesthetics.

    Based in Vienna. Working throughout Austria and in selected destinations beyond.

    Executive Stories

    People follow people.
    Not titles.

    A great portrait reveals more than a face. It reveals personality.

    SCHOPHO photographs people who make a difference – in business, medicine, law, politics and many other walks of life. And people who simply want to see themselves in photographs that feel genuinely their own.

    For a compelling professional presence. Or simply for yourself.

    Executive Memberships

    Visibility is not built in a single day. SCHOPHO Executive Memberships offer an ongoing photographic partnership for people who want to develop their personal and professional presence over time.

    “Peter's professionalism, his eye for detail, and his sensitivity to people make working with him a truly special experience.”
    Barbara Harrer

    Wedding Stories

    Your wedding day belongs to you.
    Not the camera.

    No two weddings are alike. It is the people, their connections and the atmosphere of the day that tell its story.

    SCHOPHO captures that story with care, discretion and an eye for the moments that cannot be planned.

    From intimate celebrations to destination weddings.

    Beyond Stories

    Photography beyond the expected.

    Not every story begins with a commission. Some begin with curiosity, an encounter or an idea.

    Beyond Stories brings together fashion, editorials, architecture, people and places – from independent photographic work and international magazine publications to bespoke projects for agencies, businesses, hotels, tourism and public institutions.

    Different projects. One shared ambition: images with a perspective of their own.

    “Great photographer! Peter Scholz is very precise, punctual and professional, yet wonderfully friendly. You feel safe and at ease throughout the shoot.”

    Collaboration

    Not every idea fits a category.

    Perhaps you already have a project in mind. Perhaps it is simply the beginning of an idea.

    SCHOPHO welcomes individual commissions, creative collaborations and new perspectives. What matters is not which category an idea belongs to, but what we can create together.
