Fotograf Bamberg | Thomas Paal

Based in Bamberg, I combine years of experience in business and portrait photography with a clear focus on authenticity. For application photos and business portraits I aim not just for a flattering image but for the right presence: professional, approachable and genuine. My style is contemporary and understated, helping you present yourself confidently in applications, on LinkedIn/Xing or to hiring managers. Why choose me for your application photos: I start with a personal consultation to understand your goals, industry and the impression you want to make. Whether you need a classic, formal look for corporate roles or a more relaxed style for creative fields, we find the visual approach that fits you. I prioritise natural expressions and body language over stiff posing, creating portraits that build trust and convey personality. The process is straightforward and relaxed: we clarify your needs by phone or email, and at the shoot I provide clear guidance in a comfortable setting — many clients describe the session as professional yet relaxed. After the session I edit the images with care in my signature style, including subtle beauty retouching. You will receive the selected pictures in full resolution, ready for online profiles, application documents or prints. As a Bamberg photographer I understand local expectations and the requirements of international platforms. I work in-studio or on location depending on the desired background and mood for your portrait. My aim is that you step into your next career opportunity with confidence. Get in touch for a personal consultation: I’ll advise you on outfits, colours and image language and deliver portraits that represent you for the long term.
