Professional application photos and business portraits by Philip Dehm: natural, authentic and LinkedIn/Xing-ready. Relaxed studio or on-location sessions.
As a business photographer based in Karlsruhe, I believe there is no business without the people behind it. My work for application photos and business portraits combines authenticity with professionalism — I don’t just photograph a face, I capture personality, competence and likeability. These are the qualities that make a difference in job applications, LinkedIn/Xing profiles and corporate presentations. My approach is calm and conversational. Clients often say I feel like a friend during the session — that relaxed atmosphere helps create natural, unforced images. Whether in my Karlsruhe studio or on location, I guide with gentle directions, capture authentic moments and ensure the result shows you at your best. The photos are polished yet genuine, tailored to the context you need: application documents, online profiles or company websites. With experience from hundreds of business shoots, I know what recruiters and decision-makers look for: an open gaze, an authentic expression and an image style that fits your industry. Before the shoot we discuss styling, the desired look and the final use (print, web, LinkedIn/Xing) so the session is focused and efficient. I also provide team and group photography for companies that need coherent visual presentation of their staff. Professional lighting, subtle retouching and fast delivery complete the service. You will receive files prepared for both web and print use. My goal is that you feel confident with your application photos and can present yourself with clarity and presence. If you want application photos or business portraits that are honest, effective and true to you, get in touch. Let’s talk about the visual language that suits you best — I’ll accompany you with patience, experience and a keen eye for what matters.
