Julian Hoecher Media

Application photos are more than a simple headshot — they're your first impression and professional calling card. At Julian Hoecher Media in Passau, we specialise in application photography and business portraits, creating images that communicate competence, personality and trust. Why choose Julian Hoecher Media? Julian has worked as a filmmaker and photographer since 2015 and brings that visual expertise directly into his photo work. As a lecturer at the University of Passau he stays close to trends in visual communication — a clear advantage for applicants and companies. JHM prioritises authenticity: not staged masks, but genuine expressions that build confidence in application scenarios. What makes the approach unique? Our portraits use a modern, clean visual language: uncluttered backgrounds, precise lighting and portrait aesthetics that perform well both online (LinkedIn/Xing) and in print. We advise on clothing, posture and facial expression so your photo works for your target industry — from conservative to creative fields. How does a shoot work? We start with a short briefing to define the desired effect, industry and use. On set we create a relaxed environment: Julian guides the session with clear, concise directions and prompts to capture natural moments. Shoots take place in-studio or on location in Passau. Retouching is subtle and realistic; final files are delivered optimized for print and web, including profile-crop variants. Added value: Beyond classic application photos we provide business portraits for staff profiles and LinkedIn optimisation. Our experience in corporate productions helps with efficient team shoots and a consistent visual identity for employer branding. If you want an application photo that not only looks great but actually works: Julian Hoecher Media in Passau accompanies you personally from first consultation to final file.
