Schroeder combines years of portrait and business photography experience with deliberate image strategy: the goal is not just a pretty picture, but one that communicates who you are and how you want to be perceived. Why choose s.h. schroeder for application photos? Sebastian works conceptually and content‑first.

How the collaboration works: before the shoot we have a short consultation to clarify your target role, industry and intended presence.
