Henning von Holdt Fotografie

Hi — I’m Henning von Holdt. As a business and portrait photographer based near Hamburg and Pinneberg, I focus on creating application photos that are authentic, approachable and effective. For job applications and professional profiles like LinkedIn or Xing, what matters most is a natural, confident presence — not an over‑styled look. That’s what I aim to capture. My approach is grounded in calm, respect and genuine curiosity. You don’t need to ‘perform’ in front of the camera; I provide space where you can be yourself. With patient guidance and unobtrusive direction, I help even camera‑shy clients relax and find natural expressions. The result: application portraits that show competence and personality without feeling staged. What sets my work apart is attention to subtle moments. Rather than forcing poses, I work conversationally and look for the gestures and looks that tell your story. The photos translate well across uses — application documents, websites, LinkedIn or Xing profile pictures, and employee portraits. The process is straightforward and personable: we clarify the message you want to send, choose a suitable location and mood (studio, workplace or outdoor), and conduct the shoot with time for breaks and genuine interaction. You’ll select your favorites in an online gallery and I’ll apply a tasteful, authentic edit so the images remain clear, timeless and professional. If you want more than a generic application photo — if you want images with character that build trust and communicate competence — let’s talk. I’ll accompany you with clarity, empathy and structure so your photos do exactly what they should: represent you, honestly and convincingly.
