Max Köstler Fotografie

Everything good photography needs: Max Köstler focuses on application photos and business portraits that convey professionalism and personality. With a background in theater photography, a master craftsman diploma and more than 35 years working as an independent photographer, he creates images that are technically excellent and emotionally authentic. His aim is to make each subject's character visible and convincing. Located in his Light Art Studio in Bad Reichenhall, Max works with controlled lighting, considered composition and an eye for detail. Whether you need a classic application photo, a modern LinkedIn/Xing profile image or an elegant business portrait, his photographs are timeless, professional and optimised for today's hiring processes and online presentation. The process begins with a short consultation: what impression do you want to make, which format suits your industry and which visual style fits your goals? During the shoot Max fosters a relaxed, focused atmosphere — his calm, empathetic manner helps even camera-shy clients appear natural on camera. As a trainer at the Werbedesign-Akademie Salzburg and workshop leader for photography and image editing, he also gives practical styling and posture tips. Post-production is careful and purposeful: subtle retouching, tonal corrections and delivery in formats ready for web profiles and print. For businesses he also produces cohesive employee photos and business series that are consistent and representative. Why choose Max Köstler: decades of experience, a bespoke Light Art Studio, formal training and a meticulous eye for light and expression combine to produce application photos that stand out. If you want a business portrait or application photo that communicates confidence and personality, Max delivers images that open doors.
