RathWerk

RathWerk’s core work is event and portrait photography — local, direct and personal from Rotenburg (Wümme). From this foundation come application and business portraits defined by authenticity, clear visual language and practical impact. Sebastian Rath’s background in photographing clubs, cultural events and political activities informs his approach to creating images that communicate trust and competence. Why choose RathWerk for application photos? Because an effective application photo does more than flatter: it conveys professionalism, approachability and suitability for the role. Sebastian applies a trained eye to posture, eye contact and perspective so that each shot supports your goals — whether a conservative look for formal applications or a modern presence for LinkedIn and Xing. The process is down-to-earth: clear guidance, relaxed atmosphere and natural expressions instead of stiff posing. How it works: We start by discussing the intended use of the image (job application, LinkedIn/Xing profile, internal comms). Sessions are efficient and can take place in Rotenburg or at an agreed location. Editing is subtle and precise — color, contrast and retouching enhance authenticity while ensuring suitability for both print and digital use. If desired, Sebastian also offers advice on image selection and social media presentation drawing on his media consulting experience. Note: Business photography is offered as a complementary service at RathWerk — the main focus remains on events and portraits. If you need application photos alongside event coverage or staff portraits, Sebastian can provide both with the same local, flexible approach. He works regionally across Northern Lower Saxony and can incorporate modern tools like gimbal video or drone footage when projects require them.
