Robert Schmelka Fotografie

As a specialist in business and portrait photography, I help you present your professional self with confidence. With more than 20 years of experience in business photography, I focus on creating authentic, powerful application photos that catch the attention of recruiters and convey your suitability at a glance. Why choose me: I combine technical expertise with an eye for detail—lighting, pose and expression are carefully balanced so your photo appears credible and composed. My aim is not a forced smile but an image that fits your industry and the role you seek: conservative and polished for traditional sectors, fresh and approachable for creative or digital positions. My working method is personal and relaxed. Before the session we briefly discuss your target role and the impression you want to make; in the studio I create an atmosphere where you can feel comfortable. I provide guidance on posing and practical advice on wardrobe choices. Many clients who feel nervous in front of the camera quickly relax and allow natural, professional photos to emerge. Equipment and post-production complete the professional approach: careful lighting, refined retouching, and subtle color correction ensure your images perform well on application documents and online profiles such as LinkedIn and Xing. Based in the Pfalz wine region, I shoot business portraits locally in Neustadt an der Weinstraße and welcome enquiries from the surrounding area. If you want an application photo that communicates personality, competence and professionalism, let’s arrange a personal consultation so your first impression is exactly what it should be.
