Authentic application photos from Cologne: business portraits by Gülten that show character and competence. Advice on outfits, locations and natural LinkedIn/Xing profile pictures.
Hello, I’m Gülten — a photographer in Cologne specializing in application photos and business portraits. I create authentic images that help you stand out in job applications, on LinkedIn/Xing, and across corporate communications. For me, a successful application photo not only looks good but also builds trust and communicates who you are. Why choose my service: I bring years of experience in portrait and business photography and approach each shoot with empathy and calm. Sessions are carefully prepared — from wardrobe guidance to choosing the image style. Clients appreciate practical preparation advice (clothing, simple skincare and make-up tips) and location suggestions so the photos match your professional goals. How I work: A personal conversation is the best way to start — we define the objective, the desired look and where the images will be used. On the day of the shoot I create a relaxed environment: I guide posture and expression so that even people who are camera-shy feel comfortable. If desired, I can coordinate styling or recommend several outfits to ensure a versatile range of images. What you get: honest, contemporary business portraits that convey both competence and personality. My images are particularly well suited for job applications, professional LinkedIn/Xing profiles and company websites, focusing on natural, non-formal portraiture. Whether you want a classic application photo or a modern business portrait, I will accompany you from the first call to the final image with experience, attention to detail and a calm, personal approach. Let’s create an authentic profile picture that truly represents you.
