Martin der Fotograf

Application photos are more than portraits — they're your calling card on the job market. As a business and portrait photographer based in Rheinbach, I focus on creating images that communicate professionalism, approachability and authenticity. I create a calm, reassuring atmosphere so you feel comfortable in front of the camera and present yourself naturally — exactly what recruiters and networks like LinkedIn or Xing respond to. Why choose me: I bring over five years of experience in portrait and corporate photography, working with clients across various industries. This experience has given me a refined understanding of what makes a successful application or business portrait — from classic headshots to modern LinkedIn images. My photos are clean, understated and highlight both your personality and professional competence. How I work: Before the shoot we discuss style, outfit and the intended use (application, LinkedIn, Xing, or company profile). During the session I create a relaxed environment, give clear, unobtrusive guidance and use lighting to emphasize contours and expression. Afterwards you receive a curated selection of the best images — all carefully edited and delivered via a secure cloud. I don’t hold back good photos: you’ll get every strong shot fully retouched. For companies I also offer professional employee portraits and team photos that integrate seamlessly into corporate communication. On request I help with image selection to ensure a consistent look across websites and social media channels. My motivation is simple: great photography should help people move forward. Whether it’s a first impression for a job application or a profile picture for professional networks — I take the time to find your best image. If you’re in Rheinbach or the surrounding area and want a strong, authentic application photo, get in touch — I’d love to work with you.
