Application photos from Erfurt: Forward Marketing GbR creates professional business portraits that showcase personality and competence. Ideal for LinkedIn, Xing profiles and job applications.
As an advertising agency based in Erfurt and Dermbach, we understand how important a convincing application photo is for your professional presentation. At Forward Marketing GbR, our business photography is dedicated to combining authenticity, competence and personality in a single image — so your first visual impression resonates with HR professionals and network contacts. Why choose us: we specialise in business portraits and application photos, blending photographic craftsmanship with experience in corporate imagery and employee photography. Our images are optimised specifically for job applications, LinkedIn and Xing profiles, as well as internal career communication. We know which visual approach works in different industries and advise you on clothing, pose and background so that the photo supports your career goals. Our approach is calm and professional: before the shoot we discuss positioning, the desired visual impact and your professional environment. During the session we create a relaxed atmosphere — producing natural, confident shots even if you are not used to being in front of the camera. Technically, we rely on clean lighting, clear composition and subtle retouching so the result looks modern while remaining authentic. How we work: brief consultation → relaxed shoot (studio or on location) → professional image selection → subtle retouching → delivery in print- and web-optimised formats. On request we provide tailored variants for application documents and LinkedIn/Xing profile pictures (correct crop, resolution and colour profile). For companies we also produce employee photos in a unified look to strengthen your employer-branding communication. Our services are aimed at applicants at all career levels as well as companies that need a professional visual identity for their teams. As a local team in Erfurt, we are happy to advise you personally and create an image that increases your chances in the application process. Contact us for a non-binding consultation — we will advise you specifically on your application photo and support you from concept to the final image.
