Sophie Brand Studio

Sophie Brand Studio is specialized in business portraits and application photography. Sophie Brand, a trained fashion and portrait photographer based in Berlin, combines technical expertise with a sensitive eye for expression — exactly what professional application photos require. Her aim is to create images that communicate both competence and personality without feeling staged. Why choose Sophie? Her work is characterized by a calm, respectful approach. Working with artists, freelancers and companies, Sophie understands how crucial an application photo is: it needs to build trust, convey professionalism and keep your unique presence. Influenced by feminine strength and elegant minimalism, she favors natural poses, subtle retouching and composed lighting that makes your professional qualities visible. What sets her apart? Sophie pairs technical proficiency with gentle coaching. Before the session she clarifies the intended image effect — serious, creative or approachable — and during the shoot she creates a relaxed environment that helps even camera-shy clients feel at ease. Through clear direction and attention to detail, she produces portraits that work for applications, LinkedIn/XING or employee profiles. How the session works: Sophie emphasizes a personal process: a pre-shoot consultation about goals, styling advice, directed shooting, and a careful selection of the strongest images. Hand-made backdrops and daylight studio settings can be used to achieve looks from classic-neutral to characterful. The result: images that clearly communicate your professional identity. If you need an application photo or a professional LinkedIn/XING profile picture, Sophie Brand Studio offers focused, empathetic and experienced support.
