authentic-shots | by daniel niessen

authentic‑shots stands for authentic, unobtrusive photography—exactly what successful application photos and business portraits need. I'm Daniel Nießen: reliable, courteous and with an empathetic manner that quickly puts people at ease in front of the camera. That relaxed approach shows in clear, expressive images that convey both personality and professionalism. My work for application photos and business portraits focuses on authenticity: I don’t aim for exaggerated poses, but for the expression and posture that credibly communicate your competence. Having worked for companies and brands such as REWE‑Group, Motorola, Greenbomb and Lowa, I understand the demands of professional profile pictures for job applications, LinkedIn, Xing or company pages. This experience helps me create images that are both human and purposeful. How I work with you: We start with a short pre‑shoot conversation to clarify the purpose of the photo, dress code and the impression you want to make. During the session I create a calm atmosphere and provide clear, simple directions so your body language and facial expression stay natural. Technically I work precisely and—if needed—use studio flash equipment that I also employ in my one‑to‑one coaching, producing high‑quality, consistent images. My goal is to deliver images you can confidently use: for applications, professional networks or the company website. I aim for a sober yet warm visual style that communicates competence without appearing artificial. If you value reliability, politeness and real results, I’m the right contact for your business portraits and application photos. Get in touch with a short message about your needs—I’ll reply personally and without obligation. Together we’ll create a photo concept that supports your professional goals.
