Chiznic's Photography

I’m a Dublin-based photographer specialising in sports, events, and brand content, working under Chiznics Photography.

I first got into photography in 2022 through my Jiu-Jitsu club, where I was constantly around high-level action and moments that were over in seconds. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a passion, as I realised the impact of capturing those split-second moments and turning them into lasting memories.

Since then, I’ve worked across a wide range of events and brands, including major sports organisations such as Kingpin Boxing, PFL, IBJJF, and ADCC, as well as brands like Roll Jiu-Jitsu, Ground Game, and Step One Socks. Alongside this, I’ve built strong experience in event coverage Shooting everything from private parties and corporate events to communions, christenings, and nightlife content.

My work focuses on capturing real, candid moments as they happen without disrupting the flow of your event. The goal is simple: to document everything naturally, so you can relive the moments you didn’t even realise were happening.

One of the key things that sets my work apart is fast turnaround. In many cases, clients receive their content the same night or the following morning, allowing them to share and enjoy their photos while the moment is still fresh.

Outside of photography, I’ve been training Jiu-Jitsu for several years, which has shaped my work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to stay focused in fast-paced environments.
