Holger F. Schmidt Fotografie

My photographic work centers on people: weddings, portraits and family sessions are my primary focus. In addition, I offer business and application photography for anyone wanting an authentic, professional image for job applications, LinkedIn/Xing or staff profiles. Why choose me? Because I photograph people, not poses. I guide you with clear, calm directions so you don’t have to pretend — the best application photos show personality and confidence at once. My aim is to deliver modern, honest headshots that communicate both competence and approachability. My approach is practical and personal. We discuss by phone what format you need (CV photo, LinkedIn/Xing, website or team portraits) and the impression you want to make. Shoots are done on location or outdoors — I don’t work from a fixed studio but come to you, using mostly natural light with subtle fill for a contemporary, professional look. During the session I coach pose, expression and posture so even people without modeling experience feel comfortable and confident quickly. Editing is restrained and professional: color correction, minor retouching and final optimization for print and web so your images are ready for applications, LinkedIn/Xing or employee directories. Note: Business photography is an additional service for me — my main emphasis remains weddings, portraits and family work. If you need a clear, authentic application photo or professional business portraits, I’ll happily apply my experience with people to create images that strengthen your professional appearance. Get in touch for a pre‑shoot conversation — I look forward to helping you present your best self.
