INVESTMENT
Investing in a personal branding photo shoot is absolutely worthwhile and always pays off!
Professional photos not only lay the foundation for your success, they do much more:
Good portraits show customers what kind of personality they are dealing with and highlight your personal strengths.
Good photos literally show you/your company in the best possible light.

FAQ
How does a photo shoot work?
An initial consultation
It all starts with a phone call to discuss availability, clothing, accessories, and preferences.
I take plenty of time to address any uncertainties you may have and answer all your questions.
We always discuss:
-
Your personal wishes and possibilities
-
Outfits, hair & makeup (including whether you would like to book a suitable makeup artist)
-
Your choice of location, i.e., outdoors, on site (e.g., at your company) or in the studio.
How can you prepare for your photo-session?
Don't worry—we'll clarify that too!
When you book a portrait shoot, I will also send you detailed shoot information with the most important tips for preparation.
It will tell you everything you need to know about hair, makeup, and the right outfits.
If you book a reportage, we will discuss which settings and situations are particularly important for you and your story.
Outdoors, indoors, or in a studio?
The advantage of shooting outdoors or at your company premises is that you have a very natural environment, which can often reinforce your branding philosophy.
The advantages of a studio are predictable lighting conditions and the possibility of using flash and different backgrounds.
I work with various studios and will be happy to book a suitable time slot for our shoot.
Prices vary from one hour (from €50.00) to a full day (€200-500).
No matter which location you have in mind, I am usually happy to travel there!
Is there an extra charge for travel?
Travel within Munich is free of charge.
If the location is outside Munich, travel by car is charged at 80 cents per km.
For travel by train or plane, I try to find the best price/performance ratio.
What should I bring to the shoot?
Be sure to bring a variety of outfit options!
I advise against black and eye-catching patterns and, if in doubt, recommend classic colors that may also reflect your corporate identity colors!
Red and pink can be problematic for tops because they may reflect off the skin, but if these are “your” colors, be sure to bring them anyway!
As a general rule:
It's better to pack too much than too little, and make sure everything is transported without creasing!
Hair & Makeup
Your personal shoot information will tell you everything you need to know about hair, makeup, and the right outfits.
If you do your own hair and makeup, please do so at home, but bring your personal equipment with you (for touch-ups or changes).
If you have booked a makeup artist, please come with freshly washed hair from the day before the shoot.
The day before the photo session
-
Make sure you don't get too much sun (risk of sunburn).
-
Drink plenty of fluids (this replenishes your water reserves and makes your skin smoother).
-
Try to get to bed early
-
and above all: stay calm ;-) - I promise you, it won't be like a trip to the dentist, but rather an enjoyable experience that you will probably even enjoy (even if you've had different experiences in the past ;-))
The session day (portraits)
We meet at the agreed time and place.
If you have booked a make-up artist, they will make sure you look perfect in advance (at your home or on site)!
First, we calmly discuss your wishes, what is particularly important to you and, yes, any concerns you may have.
Then we will gently get started (and only from this point on will the clock start ticking).
We will try out different poses and settings. Don't worry! I will show you how it's done! We will start with simple things and then, once you have gotten used to it, move on to more challenging ones.
We will change locations.
You will see: time will fly by!
The shooting day (reportage)
We will meet at the agreed time and place. (I will arrive 15-30 minutes early.)
We will visit the location and discuss the most important motifs and settings once again, as well as your special requests and what is particularly important to you on this special day.
If necessary, you will provide me with yourself or a personal ‘guide’ (usually an employee of your company) for the day, who is familiar with the location and the other people present and may also have drawn up the schedule for the day with me/for me.
Let's get started!
From now on, I (and possibly my companion) will be constantly on the move. The camera will be clicking incessantly to capture as many different photos as possible of the day and the desired situations.
Don't be surprised:
I will probably be up above, down below, in the corners, and in the most unusual positions in the room! That's perfectly normal if you want to take good pictures.
By the way: I have a glider pilot's license, I'm not afraid of heights, I've flown almost every type of aircraft, and I have good insurance ;-)
How are the images edited?
All images that you receive for download are basic corrected and edited in my characteristic style.
This means:
Light, colors, contrast, and, if necessary, a little bit of the color scheme are individually adjusted for each image.
What about retouching?
Retouching (such as removing skin blemishes, wrinkles, fat deposits, or objects, recoloring things, cropping objects, or replacing entire backgrounds) is charged separately and according to the amount of work involved. The price starts at $10 per image.
I would be happy to provide you with a customized quote.
When will I receive my photos?
You will normally receive a link to your password-protected online gallery with your photos within a maximum of 2-3 weeks after the shoot. You can download all photos from the gallery, but also share them, select your favorites, and order prints!
Any questions?
