Anton Kozyr is a portrait photographer in Gothenburg: personal portraits, couple sessions, Love Story and engagement shoots, and maternity photography. 15 years of experience and more than 3000 shoots. The price is 3,000 SEK per hour including VAT, one hour minimum. Each hour gives you around 100 finished photographs: about 20 retouched, the rest in my own colour grading. The first images arrive within a day, the full gallery within 14 days.

What I photograph

Three reasons to book a session

The price is the same — 3,000 SEK per hour, from one hour. The only difference is who is in front of the camera.

Personal portrait

For yourself, for your profile, or simply because it has been a long time since you had good photographs. We start with calm frames and then add movement and emotion.

Couples, Love Story and engagement

A session for two: before the wedding, for an anniversary, or for no reason at all. I will not ask you to look into the lens and smile — you talk, walk and hold each other, and I photograph what happens in between.

The images work in a wedding album too

Maternity

We shoot while the bump is clearly visible and moving is still easy. Your partner and older children are welcome — those are the frames people look at most afterwards.

Best time is weeks 30–36

The usual worry

If you feel awkward in front of a camera

  • For the first few minutes we simply talk and walk — the camera is already working, and the best frames often come from there
  • I tell you where to stand, where to look and what to do with your hands. You never have to invent poses
  • We look at the photos during the session: once you see it is working, the tension goes away
I'll start by saying Anton is the best photographer I've ever had!!! When choosing a photographer, what matters most to me is finding someone I can easily open up to in front of the camera — not wild posing, just living out a small story, which Anton captures carefully and professionally! I should add that for a session with Anton, a true professional, I'd happily travel 1,000 km.

Very happy with the photographer's work! It was a pleasure working with him — Anton puts you at ease, so it wasn't hard at all to relax in front of the camera. The result made me really happy — beautiful, vivid photos! Thank you so much for the work!!!

Portrait photographer in Gothenburg — frames from sessions

Anton Kozyr, portrait photographer in Gothenburg
Who is behind the camera

Hi, I am Anton

I shoot portraits the way I shoot reportage: I direct very little and wait for the moment a person forgets about the camera.

I am easy to talk to and people feel calm around me. That is why the frames come out natural and the session feels more like a walk than an appointment.

I speak English, Swedish, Russian and Ukrainian.

Where we shoot

Places in Gothenburg that work for portraits

I mostly shoot outdoors: the frames feel more alive, and the city gives a backdrop no studio can build.

  • Seminarieparken — Cherry blossom in April — the shortest and most beautiful season of the year
  • Trädgårdsföreningen, the Palm House — Greenery and glass — it saves the session in rain and in winter
  • Botaniska trädgården — A large garden: flowers in spring, colour in autumn
  • The old city centre — A classic city portrait
  • Lindholmen — Modern architecture: glass, concrete and clean lines
  • Stenpiren — Water, open sky and the city behind you

In the evening we can shoot with flash, and also in a café or a hotel. If you need a completely clean background, there is a studio with a paper backdrop for an extra fee — though usually I suggest doing without it.

Questions

How to book a session

If your question is not here, write to me and I will answer personally.

How much does a photo session in Gothenburg cost?

3,000 SEK per hour, one hour minimum. That hour gives you around 100 finished photographs, about 20 of them retouched. The price includes VAT.

How many photos do I get and when?

Around 100 edited frames per hour of shooting. I send the first photographs within a day and the full gallery within 14 days.

I don’t know how to pose. What do I do?

Nothing. I tell you where to stand, where to look and what to do with your hands, and we always start simple. After ten minutes nobody thinks about it any more.

What should I wear?

Whatever you feel comfortable in and that does not pull attention from your face: calm colours, no big prints or logos. If you are unsure, send me a few options and we will choose together. There is time to change outfits during the session.

When is the best time for a maternity shoot?

Usually between weeks 30 and 36: the bump is clearly visible and moving is still easy. Book in advance, this window is short.

Do you photograph newborns and babies?

Yes, but in a reportage style at your home, as a family portrait — not classic studio work with baskets, props and posed newborns. We photograph the baby as they are that day, together with you and in your own light. Same price as a regular session: 3,000 SEK per hour incl. VAT.

Where will we shoot?

Outdoors: Seminarieparken during cherry blossom, the Palm House at Trädgårdsföreningen, Botaniska, the old centre, modern Lindholmen and Stenpiren by the water. In the evening with flash, in a café or a hotel. There is also a studio with a paper backdrop for an extra fee.

What if it rains?

The weather in Gothenburg is unpredictable, and if you postpone every time the photos never happen. So we choose places with shelter nearby: the Palm House, a café, a hotel. Overcast light is soft and portraits come out well. If the weather becomes impossible, we move the session at no cost.

How and when do I pay?

No deposit is needed. You pay right after the session, before the editing. The price includes VAT and there is no evening or weekend surcharge.

Can my partner, children or dog join?

Of course. Family sessions with children are booked the same way and cost the same.
