LAV Fotostudio Aleksandra Sotnikova

I’m Aleksandra Sotnikova — your photographer for impactful application photos and business portraits at LAV Fotostudio in Hockenheim. I focus on creating images that communicate confidence, approachability and professionalism — the qualities that hiring managers and professional networks like LinkedIn and Xing recognize instantly. Why choose me? I combine years of experience with a contemporary, natural visual style. My priority is your comfort: in a calm, friendly atmosphere I guide you through poses and expressions so even camera-shy clients can relax and present their best self. Attention to lighting, posture and subtle retouching ensures images that look authentic and polished. How I work: We begin with a consultation to align style, background and expression with your career goals. Shoots take place in my studio, where we create a relaxed environment, but on-location sessions are available on request. During the session you’ll receive simple, effective posing directions and several variations to choose from. After the shoot I carefully edit the selected images, focusing on natural color correction and tasteful retouching that preserves your character. For LinkedIn, Xing, corporate profiles or team photos I bring a clear sense of what communicates professionalism while keeping personality visible. Whether you need a classic business portrait for a conservative industry or a modern look for a creative field, I support you with expertise and empathy. My commitment: a professional application photo you can be proud of. I look forward to meeting you and creating an image that makes a confident, authentic impression — tailored to your next career step.
