Hostrup Fotografie creates impactful application photos and business portraits in Schwäbisch Gmünd. Personal guidance, natural expression and professional retouching.
Application photos from Hostrup Fotografie (Thomas Zehnder) are designed for anyone who wants a strong and authentic first impression in their professional life. As an experienced business and portrait photographer based in Schwäbisch Gmünd, I combine technical expertise with an empathetic eye for personality — so your photo communicates more than just a face. Why choose Hostrup Fotografie? My core promise is clear: authentic, emotional and timeless images that convey both your character and professionalism. With over 30 years of photographic experience, modern camera and lighting technology, and careful post-processing, I ensure your application photo convinces on both professional and personal levels. I act as your personal contact, advising on wardrobe, color choices and presence, and guide you through the entire shoot. What sets my approach apart: I use a calm, conversational shooting style that reduces tension and encourages natural expressions. Whether a classic studio portrait or a business portrait on location — I make sure posture, gaze and composition support the professional image you want to present. After the shoot we select the best images together and I professionally retouch them using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop — optionally with AI support, while preserving a natural look. For application photos I optimize crop, lighting, skin retouching and file formats specifically for CVs, LinkedIn and Xing profiles or corporate use. I can also deliver multiple versions (color, B/W, tight crop for profile pictures) so you have the right option for every platform. Contact me for a straightforward, personal appointment. Hostrup Fotografie stands for professional business portraits and application photos that present you authentically and confidently. Rely on experience, sensitivity and image design that opens doors.
