Max Hörath Design

Max Hörath Design — Wedding Photographer in Kulmbach — also offers dedicated application photography and business portraits with the same focus on authenticity and storytelling found in our wedding work. Based in Upper Franconia, Max understands how decisive a first visual impression can be: an application photo must convey competence, approachability and fit for the target industry. Why choose us? Because we treat business photography as a strategic tool, not a commodity. Your portrait should reflect who you are and speak the visual language of the companies you want to reach. Before the shoot we align on style, wardrobe, background and final usage (CV, LinkedIn, Xing, company website). Whether you prefer a classic studio headshot, a soft grey background or a contemporary on-location portrait, we craft a look tailored to your profession and goals. Our process is calm, professional and efficient. A short briefing before the session sets expectations; during the shoot you’ll get clear, friendly guidance so even first-time subjects feel at ease. Studio sessions deliver controlled, high-quality headshots; on-location shoots use natural light and architecture for modern, relatable portraits. Afterward we deliver your images via cloud with professional retouching available (beauty retouch, background cleaning) so files are ready to use. As a local Kulmbach photographer I work with graduates, executives and regional companies across Bayreuth and Nuremberg. I also advise on formats and crops for application documents and online profiles. For businesses we create consistent employee portraits and team visuals that strengthen employer branding and public image. If you want an application photo that truly works for you, planning matters as much as the picture. Contact me for a non-binding consultation — over coffee in Kulmbach or via video call — and we’ll define your visual approach together. Yours, Max Hörath
