CUDOS is an experienced photo & film duo from Dortmund, focused on weddings and offering complementary application photos, business portraits and LinkedIn/Xing headshots in a natural style.
CUDOS are Ramona and Elvis — a photography and film team from Dortmund with more than 15 years of experience, mainly focused on wedding reportage. Because our core strength is telling authentic, emotional stories, we bring the calm, sensitivity and eye for detail that also make for strong application photos and business portraits. Important note: weddings are our primary specialty. We offer business shoots as an additional service — tailored, professional and by request. If you need a Bewerbungsfoto, a LinkedIn or Xing profile picture, or a corporate portrait, we combine our portrait and reportage expertise with a clean, natural visual language: no forced poses, no heavy retouching, but confident images that convey professionalism and personality. How we work - Consultation: A short pre‑shoot conversation to clarify the desired mood (e.g. formal, modern, approachable), outfit and background so the session runs efficiently. - Relaxed atmosphere: We aim to make you feel comfortable. Small prompts produce natural expressions — ideal for job applications and online profiles. - Technical quality & editing: Professional lighting, careful image editing and optional retouching. Delivered in high resolution and sized for web or print. - Fast delivery: As with our wedding work, edited images are provided promptly — typically within two weeks. Why choose CUDOS for your application photos? Our experience photographing people in emotional, authentic contexts helps us create portraits that feel genuine. Having accompanied over 700 couples, we know how to relax subjects in front of the camera. We work flexibly — short studio sessions, subtle outdoor portraits, or themed shoots for teams — and always with a focus on authenticity. Interested? Tell us briefly what you need (application photo, LinkedIn headshot, employee portraits) and we will reply with suggestions for format, location and timing. CUDOS accompanies you with clarity, discretion and the goal of delivering images that show who you really are.
