Portraitfotograf Berlin - Karsten Schilling

As a portrait photographer based in Berlin, my primary focus is business photography — and that includes professional application photos. Since 2009 I have helped candidates at every career stage create images that communicate competence, approachability, and authenticity. The aim is simple: photos that build trust instantly on job applications and online profiles. Why work with me? I am the owner and the photographer, so you’ll always be photographed by me personally. My studio in Charlottenburg offers beautiful natural north light and flexible studio lighting to craft the right look for your sector. If needed, I also shoot on location — at your office or outdoors near the Kurfürstendamm. My method is practical and client-centered. Before the shoot we decide together what impression your photos should make: conservative and authoritative for legal or finance roles, fresh and open for tech or creative fields, or neutral and clean for standard applications. I advise on clothing, poses and image style — small adjustments that deliver major results. During the session I guide you calmly so even people who feel awkward in front of the camera look natural and confident. The process is straightforward: brief consultation, a variety of headshots and half-length portraits (studio or outdoor), immediate image review and selection. This ensures you leave with the exact photos you need — for print, web profiles or corporate systems. Retouching is subtle and preserves authenticity. Your application photo should do more than look good — it should work. Rely on my years of experience in business portraits, headshots and staff photography. I support you from preparation to delivery so you can approach the next professional step with a strong, modern image.
