Richard Wesner Photography

A strong application photo is more than a portrait — it’s a strategic tool. As a business photographer based in Pforzheim, I focus on making your personality and professional suitability visible in an honest and convincing way. My approach combines studio and on-location photography with psychological insights: you receive high-quality images and the guidance on how to use them effectively. Before the shoot we clarify your career target and the impression you want to convey. This directs choices for styling, expression and posture — from classic business portraits to contemporary LinkedIn/Xing profile photos. During the session I work calmly and precisely: I give clear directions, create a relaxed atmosphere, and guide you step by step so natural, confident images emerge — even if you feel camera-shy. My goal is that you leave with not just a single picture but a small, flexible image portfolio. This selection allows you to show different facets of yourself depending on the application medium or role. I also explain how to strategically use your photos so your visual impression aligns with your objectives and increases your chances in the application process. I use professional equipment and a trained eye for light, composition and expression, while keeping the process efficient: you should feel comfortable, save time, and receive images that truly fit you. As a photographer from Pforzheim I personally support applicants from the region with a commitment to authenticity, quality and impact. If you value a considered application photo and personal consultation, I look forward to your enquiry. Together we’ll develop an image concept that strengthens your application.
