About Me

Ondrej Kolacek - Photographer
Ondrej Kolacek – Photographer | Zurich, Switzerland

I shoot and film the scene I’m at home in: skate, snow, surf.
Official Red Bull Photographer since 2021, and for more than 20 years at the intersection of action sports, culture and brands.

What sets me apart from pure shooters: I carry entire productions — from concept through the shoot to grading, motion design and sound. The moment is the beginning, not the product.

Born in the Czech Republic, raised in Switzerland.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Multimedia Arts,
Middlesex University London (2006).

How I work:

Concept → production → post → delivery. One signature through the whole chain: photo and film, motion graphics, color grading, sound design. Same-day delivery when the project calls for it.

AI-assisted workflows where they bring speed — curation, rough cuts, versioning. The eye stays mine.

Camera · Drone · DaVinci Resolve · Adobe Creative Suite — tools, not the argument.
