Why choose him: Mike combines a relaxed working style with a sharp eye for what matters.

What sets his work apart: With extensive experience in hospitality and editorial assignments, Mike understands different audiences and translates that sensitivity into business portraiture. The result: images that suit the intended purpose — from formal and credible to modern and confident. He emphasizes precise lighting, natural skin tones and tasteful retouching that preserves authenticity. How he works: A pre‑shoot briefing defines goals, desired look and format requirements (application, LinkedIn, Xing, corporate website). Sessions take place in a studio or on location in a relaxed atmosphere; short posing cues help evoke genuine expressions. After the shoot Mike provides a curated selection and professionally edits the final images. Who benefits: Jobseekers, professionals, executives, freelancers and companies seeking a cohesive employee imagery. Business portraits and application photos are his primary focus; event photography is offered as a complementary service. In short: If you want expressive, credible application photos and profile images — made with a photographer who values detail, calm direction and professional results — Mike Hofstetter is an experienced business photographer based in Hamburg.
