Fotorist Matthias Budde

As a business photographer, my core expertise is creating application photos and business portraits that speak directly to recruiters, clients and partners. Photography for me starts with seeing people: understanding their personality, the impression they want to make and the context in which the images will be used. That insight comes from experience and empathy and forms the foundation of every shoot. My working method is personal and consultative. Before any session we discuss the desired effect, where the photos will be used (applications, LinkedIn, Xing, corporate profiles) and the visual style that suits you best. This pre-shoot consultation ensures that the resulting images are not only technically polished but also strategically aligned with your professional goals. In studio sessions or on location I work with controlled lighting, purposeful composition and a calm, encouraging atmosphere. I guide you through posture, expression and small adjustments so that even clients who are nervous in front of the camera feel comfortable and look natural. Subtle retouching preserves authenticity while delivering a professional finish suitable for online profiles and printed materials. My background in sales, marketing and process management gives me an understanding of corporate communication and the role of imagery in recruiting. I bring this perspective to every assignment, from single application shots to coordinated employee portraits for websites and reports. If you need convincing application photos or memorable business portraits, let’s talk about your goals and the best way to achieve them. Contact me for a non-binding consultation — I look forward to making your professional presence visible. While my focus is on business and portrait photography, I occasionally photograph events, family and birthday shoots, always with the same attention to creating authentic, meaningful images.
