Professional application photos and business portraits at Simone Ahlers' Photographic Atelier. Authentic, expressive images tailored to your career goals.
At her "Photographisches Atelier," Simone Ahlers specializes in impactful application photos and business portraits. Her work combines technical precision with a genuine passion for photography — while using modern digital equipment, she also employs medium format and Polaroid film for artistic nuance. The result: portraits that convey both personality and professionalism. Why choose Simone? She knows that an application photo is more than a smile; it needs to reflect credibility and confidence, whether for traditional job applications or online profiles like LinkedIn and Xing. Simone’s calm, empathetic approach quickly relaxes even camera-shy clients, allowing natural poses and authentic expressions to emerge — images that hiring managers remember. Her method is personal and consultative: a brief pre-shoot discussion clarifies career goals, desired impression and style (classic, modern, formal, creative). During the session she creates a relaxed atmosphere, provides clear guidance on posture and expression, and uses light and background to highlight your strengths. Thoughtful image selection and subtle retouching ensure a professional appearance without losing authenticity. Simone has worked with commercial clients from interior design to food businesses and brings practical experience in presenting people appropriately for their professional contexts. That experience informs every application session — from lighting choices to image impact for CVs and profiles. If you want application photos that communicate competence and character, Simone Ahlers offers the quiet professionalism and craftsmanship to produce portraits that open doors — authentic, professional and tailored to you.
