Markus Püttmann - Portraitist

Portraitist and business coach Markus Püttmann creates application photos that do more than document appearance—they communicate your professional presence. Working internationally since 2008, Markus specialises in business and portrait photography with a focus on revealing what lies beneath the surface and helping clients take up their authentic stance. His process merges photographic craftsmanship with coaching. Before the session you clarify your goals in a brief call and receive a personal workbook with targeted questions and styling tips. This preparation sharpens the intent behind the images: who do you want to reach and which traits should be foregrounded? On the shoot day Markus accompanies you as a coach—his relaxed, slightly cheeky yet respectful manner creates a comfortable space where natural sincerity emerges. A professional stylist is available for make‑up and hair touch‑ups on request. Sessions take place in the warm, light‑filled "impulsraum" studio in Kelkheim (Taunus) or on location when suitable. Markus photographs with high‑end gear (Leica, Hasselblad) and applies refined control of light, expression and composition. During the shoot you review images together and fine‑tune posture, gaze and micro‑expressions until the portraits deliver the intended effect—for job applications, LinkedIn, XING or corporate use. Clients value the blend of empathetic guidance and decisive visual language. Many say the resulting photos not only enhance their external presence but also boost self‑confidence. After the session you select your top images; Markus professionally retouches and delivers files with usage rights. A satisfaction guarantee offers an additional level of reassurance. If you want an application photo that is honest, expressive and strategically designed, Markus’ combined expertise as a portraitist and coach will help you present yourself with clarity and purpose.
