Schierz & Söhne

Schierz & Söhne combine communication, design and photography with a strong focus on business photography. With over 14 years of experience, Anna specialises in creating application photos and business portraits that make people visible while remaining authentic and approachable. Our approach is intentional and pared-back: we develop image concepts that fit the applicant’s industry and career goals. Whether you need a LinkedIn headshot, a Xing profile picture, or a classic application photo, we focus on posture, expression, subtle styling and a visual language that conveys confidence without overstatement. The aim is images that not only look good but also help you get noticed for the right reasons. The process starts with a conversation — preferably relaxed, over a cup of coffee. We listen, define objectives and advise on clothing, colors and body language. During the shoot Anna creates a calm atmosphere and gives clear, unobtrusive guidance so natural, expressive portraits emerge. Technically we use clean lighting, neutral backgrounds and gentle retouching to preserve authenticity. For companies we also produce employee photos that integrate seamlessly into existing brand identities: consistent visual language, scalable for teams and departments. The result: people become visible and brands become tangible. Why choose Schierz & Söhne? Because we pair design thinking with photographic expertise. Anna delivers strong business imagery while Brian contributes design sensibility — ensuring photos and visual identity work together. In short: you receive application photos that are both professionally convincing and genuinely human. Let’s tell your story in the right picture.
