Executive Stories
People follow people.
Not titles.
Executive portraits are not created through perfect poses. They emerge through trust, personality and a visual language that makes competence visible.
SCHOPHO accompanies executives, entrepreneurs and personalities with a quiet, documentary and refined photographic signature.
There are people you remember.Not because of their position. Not because of their résumé.But because of the way they meet other people.
Selected Portraits
Executive Stories don't show what someone has achieved.They show who someone is.
Further Portraits
“The result is expressive, modern, and unique images with personality and presence. Peter's professionalism, his eye for detail, and his sensitivity to people make working with him a truly special experience.”
Executive Reportage
People, when they are not posing.
Leadership and personality are not only visible in a portrait.
They also reveal themselves in encounters, conversations and the moments in between.
Executive Reportage follows people in their professional environment – quietly, observantly and with the same editorial visual language as Executive Portraits.
A personal perspective
Stories have accompanied me throughout my life.
As a chorister, concert tours took me through Europe, North America and Asia at an early age. Later, over decades, I had the privilege of working with entrepreneurs, owners, board members and executives — not in front of a camera, but in negotiations, projects and decisions.
Along the way I learned that presence is not something you can stage. It reveals itself in decisions. In responsibility. And in the way people meet others.
Perhaps that is exactly why Executive Stories fascinate me. At the centre are personalities whose impact reaches far beyond titles and positions. People who take responsibility, make decisions, build trust and inspire others.
Executive Stories brings together this attitude with a timeless, editorial visual language. Created in Vienna, Austria and Europe — not to make people appear different, but to make visible what is already there.
Because behind every position there is a person. And every story begins long before the first frame.
Executive Stories.
Leadership becomes visible long before people read titles.
If you are considering how you want to be perceived, the work does not begin with the camera – it begins with a conversation.
I work with only a small number of selected projects each year.
