Bastian Maria Fotografie

Based in Friedrichshafen at Lake Constance, I combine a passion for authentic, unstaged photography with practical expertise in business imagery. Application photos are more than a headshot—they're your personal calling card. With over 15 years of experience in business and commercial photography, I produce application photos, LinkedIn/Xing profile images and employee portraits that look natural while communicating professionalism. My approach is straightforward: genuine people, genuine expressions. I shoot both against calm studio-like backgrounds and on-location at the Bodensee to create images that suit your personality and the role you are applying for—clean, contemporary and approachable. I use professional Canon equipment and perform subtle, natural retouching so skin tones remain true and the overall look is polished. The process begins with a short consultation to define the intended use, clothing and desired impression. During the session I give clear, simple guidance so posture and facial expression feel confident and sincere. Clients appreciate my calm, friendly manner—I remove pressure and help you find the right presence for applications, social profiles or corporate websites. Deliverables include a professional selection, retouching of chosen images and secure delivery via a password‑protected online gallery for easy download and use. For businesses I also create cohesive employee and team portraits that build trust and visual consistency. Why choose me? Because I value authenticity over posed stiffness. Small details—chin angle, eye contact, lighting—make a big difference, and as a local photographer in Friedrichshafen I understand the regional job market and visual expectations. If you want application photos that show you as you are—professional and genuine—let's talk. I look forward to hearing your story.
