Christoph Taterka

As an experienced portrait and business photographer based in Bergisch Gladbach, my focus is on creating application photos and business portraits that help you make a strong professional impression. Portrait photography is the foundation of my work: I combine technical control of light and lens choice with the aim of showing people in their authenticity and strength. For application photos, that first impression is crucial — I ensure your appearance is natural, competent and likeable. My approach is personal and calming: before the shoot we discuss your goals, the desired image style (classic, modern, friendly, formal) and the intended use — whether for application documents, LinkedIn/Xing or your company website. In the studio I create lighting setups that present head‑and‑shoulder portraits clearly and professionally. If preferred, I can also photograph on location at your office to capture realistic work situations or employee images. During the session I create a relaxed atmosphere, give subtle direction and use small, effective poses so even those unfamiliar with cameras look natural. I advise on clothing and can arrange a make‑up artist on request to ensure hair and make‑up sit perfectly. After the shoot you receive carefully optimized images: light retouching, black‑and‑white conversions and print formats are part of my service so the final image convinces both technically and visually. Why choose me? Because I combine portrait expertise, technical skill and an instinct for the right mood. Application photos are more than a picture — they are your first business card. I look forward to meeting you in Bergisch Gladbach and creating an image that clearly communicates your personality and professionalism.
