Because portraits here are more than just good lighting — they tell a story. As a master of his craft, Matthias knows how to merge natural presence with a professional aesthetic. Whether it’s an application photo or a LinkedIn/Xing profile image, the objective is consistent: create authentic, confident images that communicate competence and personality. What sets his approach apart is the balance of calm, experience and close collaboration. Before the shoot you discuss style, wardrobe and the intended impression. During the session Matthias fosters a relaxed environment that helps even camera-shy clients appear at ease. He provides concrete posing guidance, tailored lighting setups and a consistent visual language so the finished images work across print and digital platforms. The process: you book a studio or on-location appointment, we clarify dress code and target platform (application, LinkedIn, Xing). During the shoot you receive active coaching on posture and expression. Afterwards you select your favorites and Matthias performs professional retouching, delivering web- and print-ready files — including cropped variants optimized for profile pictures. In addition to individual headshots, Matthias produces employee photos and business series for companies. His experience in image projects and corporate photography informs every portrait, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
