Authentic application photos and business portraits by Sven Cichowicz in Stuttgart. Subtle image language, precise lighting and professional retouching for your career profile.
As a specialist in business and portrait photography, I translate your professional personality into images that make an impact. Since 2009 I have worked with executives, entrepreneurs and early-career professionals — from boardrooms to technical environments — always emphasizing a sensitive, honest visual language. Why choose me for your application photos: I combine a confident aesthetic eye with extensive production and studio experience. My work relies on clear lighting, a calm and respectful shooting style, and an ability to capture authentic moments without forced posing. The result are application photos and LinkedIn/Xing portraits that communicate competence, approachability and trust. My process is consistently personal: before the session we discuss your positioning, the intended effect and the primary uses of the images (application, LinkedIn, Xing, corporate website). On set I create a relaxed atmosphere so even camera-shy clients feel comfortable. Technical precision, deliberate lighting and subtle direction ensure a natural presentation. In post-production I develop the right look with you — from lightly retouched business portraits to more stylized versions for standout profiles. Retouching and look development follow a modern workflow; I can use AI-assisted tools for efficiency while preserving authenticity. Final files are delivered in formats optimized for web and print. I work with discretion, reliability and punctuality — values appreciated by long-standing clients from agencies and companies such as Porsche, Festool and Allianz. If you value professionalism, a clear visual language and a calm, results-oriented shoot, I look forward to hearing from you. After a short consultation I’ll prepare a tailored offer that fits your needs.
