Portrait photographer in Berlin-Kreuzberg
A good portrait does not show what someone looks like, but who is there. I am interested in mood, light and movement – not in a neutral backdrop. I take time for that – in one of the partner studios I have worked with for years, or at a place that suits you.
What you get
- 01Pre-shoot conversation about idea, mood and visual language – we develop a concept together instead of a standard pose
- 02Renowned partner and rental studios or location in Berlin – light that creates mood: hard, soft, backlight, dusk
- 03Make-up artist and hair stylist from my team on request
- 04Careful selection, natural retouching and compositing on request – no plastic skin
- 05Delivery in web and print resolution, usage rights clearly defined
How it works
- 1IdeaBy email or phone we talk about occasion, mood and image ideas – from minimal to opulent. You receive a written quote.
- 2PreparationWardrobe, location and – if booked – make-up and hair styling are coordinated. You need to bring nothing but yourself.
- 3ShootTwo to four hours depending on scope. I work calmly, give clear directions and leave room for movement and chance – that is where the lively images come from.
- 4Selection & retouchingYou receive a pre-selection to review, pick your favourites, and I deliver the finished images within ten working days.
Who it is for

Frequently asked questions
- How long does a portrait shoot take?
- A personal portrait series in the studio takes about two hours; a beauty or editorial series with team three to four hours. Outdoor shoots I schedule in the early morning or at blue hour depending on light.
- How much does a portrait shoot in Berlin cost?
- It depends on scope, team and usage rights. Tell me the occasion and intended use – you will receive a written quote with all items within one working day.
- Can I add make-up and hair?
- Yes. I have worked for years with MAC-trained make-up artists and L'Oréal award hair stylists. For beauty and editorial series I expressly recommend it.
- How do I receive the images?
- As a download in web and print resolution, including the agreed usage rights. Fine-art prints on request.
- Where does the shoot take place?
- In one of the renowned partner and rental studios in Berlin I have worked with for years, or at a location in and around Berlin that I scout to fit the idea – industrial hall, forest, beach, old building.
