Foto Kiste focuses on wedding and portrait photography. Additionally offers professional application photos and business portraits (studio, outdoor, or home shoots) with expert retouching.
Foto Kiste, run by Christof Nikodemus, is primarily a studio devoted to wedding and portrait photography. Drawing on long experience capturing people and moments, the studio also offers refined application photos and business portraits that communicate your personality clearly and professionally. Why choose Foto Kiste? Because our portrait expertise is informed by wedding reportage: we capture natural expressions, create confident presence, and deliver the technical quality that professional application photos and LinkedIn/Xing profile pictures require. As noted on our site: “You will look fresher, younger, more dynamic” — a guiding principle for our business portrait work. What sets us apart: a calm, reassuring approach. Whether in our studio on Kalkumer Straße, at home, or outdoors, we create a relaxed atmosphere, provide practical styling and posing advice, and stage you so your application photo or business portrait appears authentic and convincing. Technical details—lighting, background selection, and professional image editing including high-end retouching—are standard practice. Process: We start with a short consultation about your goals (job application, LinkedIn/Xing, staff photos), choose studio or location, advise on wardrobe and expression, and shoot at a measured pace. Final retouching is applied subtly to preserve a natural look. Important note: Business photography at Foto Kiste is offered as a complementary service to our main focus on weddings and classic portraits. If you need an application photo, LinkedIn image, or employee portraits, you’ll benefit from our portrait know-how and reportage experience—delivered with an emphasis on professionalism and authenticity.
