Anna-Maria Langer Fotografie

As a portrait and business photographer based in Cologne, I create application photos that do more than look good: they tell who you are and position you confidently in your job search. With over nine years of experience in portrait and personal branding photography, I combine empathy, clear concepts and a love of color so your images not only excel technically but also communicate your personality and professionalism. Why choose me? I take a holistic approach to application photography. In my Light And Day Studio in Cologne‑Dellbrück you have access to more than 30 background colors, matching props and a calm, daylight studio environment. I take time to discuss which visual language suits your industry, role and target position — from classic neutral business portraits to fresher looks for creative professions. My method is empathetic and relaxed: I understand that not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera at first — I guide you with clear directions and simple exercises to appear natural and confident. How we work: We begin with a 30‑minute consultation to align goals, outfit ideas and desired styles. If helpful, I prepare a moodboard as a guide for the shoot. In the studio you can book hair & make‑up from my network, use the styling corner and arrive relaxed. During the session I guide your posing and composition, review images with you and create a supportive atmosphere. You will receive your finished images in a high‑quality online gallery for selection and download. Retouching is professional and restrained, focusing on natural adjustments and consistent color — perfect for job applications, LinkedIn and Xing profiles or company use. I’d love to help you present yourself with application photos that build trust and show your authentic self. Get in touch to book a consultation — together we’ll find the look that suits you and your career.
