About the Artist — Cheyenne Neustifter
From Los Angeles to Linz: A Journey Back to Craftsmanship
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, surrounded by the energy of the entertainment industry — the birthplace of Hollywood glamour itself.
There, I trained in luxury portrait photography, learning the precision of lighting, composition, and storytelling that define world-class imagery.
But as I worked in the fast-paced environment of modern studios, I began to feel something was missing. The art of intention — the patience, the craft, the personal connection between artist and subject — had been replaced by rapid shooting and digital excess.
So I stepped away from that world. I wanted to bring back the artistry that once made portraiture magical — the kind of image that is crafted, not captured by chance.
When I relocated to Linz, I created Intention Studios as an ode to that lost craftsmanship — blending Hollywood’s lighting heritage with European elegance and soul.
A Studio Built on Art, Light, and Intention
Each session at Intention Studios is personal and deliberate.
I work one-on-one with every client — from initial consultation to final fine-art print — ensuring that every portrait reflects your true character and timeless beauty.
Unlike high-volume studios, I accept only a limited number of sessions each month, allowing me to devote the full measure of care and artistry each portrait deserves.
My approach is guided by classic Hollywood lighting techniques, the same principles used by masters like George Hurrell, but reinterpreted through a modern lens.
Every shadow, highlight, and gesture is designed with purpose — to create portraits that outlive trends and become part of your legacy.
More Than a Portrait — A Legacy
Your session is not about posing for the camera; it’s about being seen through an artist’s eye.
The result is a portrait that captures the essence of who you are — one that your grandchildren will one day marvel at, wondering how something could be both so beautiful and so real.
