Contemporary application photos and business portraits in Cottbus. Relaxed studio, personal coaching and natural profile images for applications and LinkedIn/Xing.
I am Christiane Schleifenbaum, a photographer based in Cottbus focusing on expressive application photos and business portraits. My priority is to create images that not only meet technical standards but genuinely reflect your personality, competence and presence. In my quiet studio in central Cottbus I provide a relaxed setting where clients feel comfortable and can present themselves authentically. My working method is personal and tailored: before the shoot we discuss the intended use and the image you want to convey—classic professional, modern and approachable, or specifically for LinkedIn/Xing. During the session I give practical posing guidance and advice on clothing, expression and posture so that confident and natural portraits are created, ready for job applications, online profiles or company use. I combine professional equipment with careful lighting, thoughtful composition and subtle retouching to deliver timeless images. Final photos are provided in formats optimized for applications, social networks and corporate sites. Why choose me? Because I blend technical skill with empathy: I take time, offer a calm working atmosphere and focus on the details that make an application photo effective. I work with private clients as well as professionals and teams for employee portraits. Although I also photograph weddings in and around Cottbus, my primary emphasis for this service is on business and portrait photography—helping you present yourself with clear, authentic images that support your career goals. If you would like to book a session, I look forward to hearing from you so we can plan the style that fits you best.
