Photography Stephan Schmidt

As an experienced business and portrait photographer based in Zirndorf (Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen area), I help you make a strong first impression with professional application photos and business portraits. At Photography Stephan Schmidt, authenticity is key: not generic studio shots, but images that reflect your personality, professionalism and suitability for the role. Why choose me: I combine technical expertise with an eye for the right light, composition and expression. My background in portrait and business photography ensures your image is not only technically flawless but also tailored to your industry and career goals. Whether you need a classic look for formal applications, a modern and dynamic image for LinkedIn, or a neutral, professional portrait for Xing, I craft photos that support your objectives. My process: We start with a brief consultation to clarify purpose, dress code and desired image style. The session—studio or selected on-location—focuses on creating a relaxed atmosphere; I provide clear, simple posing guidance so even camera-shy clients appear confident. I work with professional mirrorless cameras and fast lenses; images are carefully selected and retouched for a natural, polished result. Files can be delivered optimized for online profiles and print. What you receive: professionally retouched files in appropriate formats and crops (headshot, head-and-shoulders, square for social media). Transparent image rights allow you to use the photos freely for applications, portfolios and online profiles. Your application photo is often the first impression hiring managers get. Invest in an image that represents you well and increases your chances. Get in touch to book your personal application shoot in Zirndorf or the greater Nuremberg area—I look forward to bringing out your best in front of the camera.
