Portrait Photographer with an eye for what matters
A good portrait happens in the first twenty minutes – once the tension is gone and someone stops posing for the camera. I work calmly, with little equipment and plenty of time for conversation. Usually with daylight or a single light source, often in black and white.
I photograph portraits in my studio in Dresden’s Neustadt district, in the city – in front of the Semperoper, by the Elbe, in an industrial area – or wherever you feel at home. For musicians, authors, founders, athletes, actors and everyone who needs a picture that says more than a résumé.
Process
How it works.
-
Initial conversation
What do you need the portrait for? Website, press kit, album cover, job application? Location, light and clothing follow from that.
-
Shoot
60 to 90 minutes, one to three outfits, two to three settings. No time pressure.
-
Selection
You get an online gallery, choose your favorites, and I fine-tune them.

Questions about Portrait Photography
Studio or outdoors?
Both work. The studio is weather-independent and quiet; outdoors often produces the more characterful photos. Many clients combine both in one session.
I’m nervous in front of the camera – is that a problem?
No, almost everyone is. I give clear, simple directions and give you time. The best photos happen when you’ve forgotten you’re being photographed.
How quickly are the photos ready?
The gallery for selection within 3 working days, the finished edited photos one week after your selection. If you’re in a hurry, it can be faster.
How much does a portrait shoot cost in Dresden and Saxony?
A single portrait in my studio in Dresden’s Neustadt district costs €190 net – including consultation, selection, editing and delivery. Groups and teams get a tiered price: from eight people, €70 net per portrait. Portraits at your place or on location are calculated individually based on effort and travel. All prices net, plus 19% VAT.
