Carsten Plückhahn - Fotografie des Lebens

As a "comfort-focused" photographer my main focus is application photos and business portraits — images that not only look good but build trust and clearly communicate your professional message. With a background in management and a deep understanding of people, I know how much impact a single image can have in job applications, LinkedIn profiles, or corporate pages. My approach combines technical skill with a personal process that guides you confidently in front of the camera. Why choose me: I work with calmness, empathy and a keen eye for micro-expressions — the subtle facial cues that shape credibility and presence. In the relaxed setting of my studio in Oldendorf I take time to understand you: your career goal, the impression you want to make, and the image you wish to project. Together we find facial expressions, posture and lighting that feel authentic and professional. The process is personal and transparent: before the shoot we discuss the purpose of your photo. During the session I coach you with practical directions toward natural, convincing expressions — no stiff posing, but deliberate work on presence and expression. I provide feedback and explain small details about micro-movements and posture so you understand why an image works. Afterwards we choose the strongest frames together; retouching is done carefully to preserve authenticity. My photos are made to work for you: visible, memorable and likeable. Whether you need a compelling application photo, an up-to-date LinkedIn headshot or business portraits for your website — I offer professional, human-centred guidance that combines results with comfort. If you value a respectful, individual and results-driven approach, I look forward to meeting you and creating your best image.
