How he works: before the shoot he discusses your target role and industry so style, wardrobe and image language align. In his studio at Mediapark Cologne he creates a calm, comfortable atmosphere that puts even camera‑shy clients at ease. During the session he gives clear, respectful direction—prioritizing natural expression and confident presence. Afterwards you select the best images together; retouching is kept subtle to preserve authenticity while delivering a polished result.
