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.
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.
“Peter's professionalism, his eye for detail, and his sensitivity to people make working with him a truly special experience.”
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.
“We especially loved how he captured the interplay of light and shadow, creating such a special atmosphere.”
Photography beyond the expected.
Not every story begins with a commission. Some begin with curiosity, an encounter or an idea.
Beyond Stories brings together personal portraits for individuals, couples and creative personalities, fashion and editorials for designers, labels and magazines – and distinctive photographic commissions for brands, agencies and businesses.
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
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.
