Jiri Lizler | Commercial Photographer & Art Director Jiri Lizler is an award-winning photographer and creative director specializing in the luxury hospitality sector. Based in the Czech Republic and working globally, Jiri combines technical precision with a refined editorial eye to craft visual narratives for the world’s most exclusive brands.

Trusted by Industry Leaders When top-tier hospitality brands need to define their visual identity, they turn to Studio Lizler. Jiri has successfully directed and executed campaigns for global giants including The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Hyatt, Marriott, and EDITION Hotels.

His ability to translate brand values into compelling imagery has earned him international recognition. His work is frequently featured in leading publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes, and Harper's Bazaar.

The Creative Unit: A Seamless Partnership Studio Lizler operates as a dedicated creative unit. Jiri works in tandem with his partner and Studio Manager, Lucy, who oversees production logistics and leads interior styling.

This husband-and-wife partnership offers clients a unique advantage: a unified creative workflow. While Jiri directs the lighting and composition, Lucy ensures the set is styled to perfection and the production runs effortlessly. This integrated approach eliminates the need for external agencies, ensuring that from the mood board to the final retouch, the vision remains consistent.

Our Philosophy We believe that luxury is not just seen; it is felt. Whether capturing the architectural grandeur of a resort or an intimate lifestyle moment, our goal is to evoke the guest experience. As an Art Director, Jiri does not just document a space—he curates the scene to tell a story that resonates with your target audience.

“As an avid traveler, I greatly enjoy international photography assignments. Do not hesitate to pitch projects inside and outside of Europe. You’ll find our people listen in many languages to ensure the needs of every client are met, no matter which continent they are on.”
