The Event

One castle, two days, eight muses.

Czech Castle 2.0 brings together a small circle of photographers, eight professional models, and one extraordinary baroque castle — Schloss Trpísty — for a full weekend of shooting. Both days unfold inside the castle and its grounds: frescoed halls, gilded salons, ornate staircases and quiet corners full of period detail and beautiful natural light.

Saturday leans into the castle's architecture and atmosphere — fine-art and fashion across the grand rooms. Sunday turns intimate: soft window light, boudoir and fine-art in the salons and apartments.

With eight models and eight photographers, every slot runs 1-on-1 or 2-on-1, exactly as you booked. Hotel, meals, transport to the castle, and optional coaching with Patrick are included. Bring your camera, your concepts, and your curiosity — we take care of the rest.

Organization & Coaching

BB

Barbora

Organization · BonBon Production

Barbora runs BonBon Production — modeling agency, event production, media. She curates the models, books the location, and keeps the whole weekend on the rails so it actually feels like a fairy tale rather than a logistics drill.

PR

Patrick Rupp

Coach · Pr-Arts

Photographer for 15 years and counting, organizer of 100+ workshops. Patrick lives where fine-art portraiture meets the quiet drama of light. Across the weekend he's at your side for settings, lighting, posing — or just to bounce a concept off.

optional: send me photos of you & Barbora to replace the initials
