Lars Laion creates application photos and business portraits in Cologne. With cinematic imagery and precise lighting he produces authentic, immediately usable profile pictures for LinkedIn, XING and CVs.
Lars Laion is a light-setting photographer specializing in business and portrait photography, offering application photos that are ready to use right after the shoot. His philosophy: the image should be created on location in such quality that post-production only refines, rather than fabricates, the result. This approach delivers professional, authentic application and profile photos with minimal turnaround time. Working with a cinematic visual language, Lars brings experience from shoots with actors, musicians and corporate clients to every session. Leica and Elinchrom are his artistic tools—careful lighting, composed framing and a sensitive eye for expression produce portraits that communicate both personality and professionalism. As a member of the Bund professioneller Portraitfotografen (BPP), he places high value on technical excellence and consistent quality. The process is simple and client-focused: a short briefing defines the desired style and target audience of the photo. In his gallery and studio in Cologne (Belgisches Viertel) Lars creates a relaxed setting where clients receive direct guidance on posture, facial expression and wardrobe. For LinkedIn and XING profile pictures as well as application photos he arranges lighting to emphasize clarity and presence. After the shoot, a considered selection and subtle retouching finalize images without compromising authenticity. Why clients choose Lars: he combines artistic ambition with practical usability—portraits that look great and can be used immediately. His track record with companies and editorial work ensures that employee photos and business portraits are delivered professionally. Whether you need an application photo, LinkedIn headshot or corporate portrait, Lars Laion produces clear, expressive images that convey competence and character.
