Pavleye Artist Management and Production ensures the highest level of quality service.

Representing leading Czech photographers Anna Mrazek Kovacic, Locomotiv, Matus Toth, Filip Slapal, and recent additions Kurt Stallaert and Prasad Naik, Pavleye offers fully-tailored production and post production services, particularly for international clients looking to shoot in Prague and Central Europe.

On the occasion of the 4th anniversary of the foundation of Boogie Films, five prominent Czech and Slovak directors filmed their own stories on a common theme -  We Shoot With Love.

The aim was to present the work of each individual director using an interesting format to support the claim "We Shoot With Love", used by Boogie Films in its external communications since the beginning. The production of these short films coincided with the redesign of the company's website.

Check out the full length films on here.

Photographer Nikola Tacevski is currently based between Prague and Cologne. Some of his advertising campaigns have won prizes at prestigious international advertising festivals, including Cannes (Silver Lion), Portoroz Golden Drum Ad Festival (Central and Eastern Europe), and Louskaceks (Czech advertising festival).

Nikola was twice presented in Lurzers Archive '2000 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide'. He works for many international agencies offering full photo production and post production services.

"Working in advertising for 10 years can have a profound effect on a person." The consequences for Paul Richard Matthews are that he endeavours to work outside the conventions of normal advertising photography.

His strong eye and ability to capture emotions with his images conveys a feeling of honesty in his work. A background as a design director gives his work a graphic edge, but he prefers to shoot with as little post as possible in favour of retaining the emotion captured through his lens.

His very first commercial project, creating and shooting a charity campaign, was awarded 'Charity Campaign of the Year' in the Czech Republic. As part of his passion for fashion, Paul is currently working on a pro-bono project to provide young Czech designers with ad campaigns created in his own unique style.
