PORTRAITS

My passion is the creation of authentic, natural, personal and expressive portrait pictures for individual persons, couples, families, groups, children, etc. I like to take pictures outdoors or in a familiar surrounding (e.g. "homestory"). This ensures a relaxed & relaxed atmosphere. I like to work with the available light. Wherever we are, I am creative in the shoot. And if it does not work with the natural light, then I set the accents with flash. In addition, I have a professional photo studio. A lightning system with powerful flashes and various attachments (softboxes, beauty dishes, stríplights) offer a creative and perfect lighting design.

My offer includes:

• single portraits
• family portraits
• newborn, baby and child portraits
• business portraits (on Location)
• and more.

Own ideas for a sooting? Surprise me and we'll put it together!

ADVANCED PHOTO WORKING    beauty retouching, etc.

Each photo will be viewed and checked by me after the shoot. If necessary, I edit the images - in terms of exposure, contrast and blee with Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop. These adjustments are part of my offer.

Should be something more? Skin corrections, removal of interfering elements? No problem! Beauty retouching, "Dodge and burn", frequency separation etc. are tools that can be used after the photoshooting and are not a foreign words for me.

I offer the following services:

• advanced editing of the images via Adobe Photoshop, e.g. "Beauty retouch"
• photos in black / white, sepia or other adaptations (including use of special filter techniques)
• password protected online gallery
• creation of photo books in different designs
• creation of thank-you cards (for example after a wedding, communion)
• photographed or scanned old photos with / without extended editing.

AND OTHERWISE ...

Of course, I photograph not only weddings, events and people. During my leisure time, my holidays and also in the customer order, I take my photo equipment and I am looking for suitable and interesting motifs.

Landscapes, interesting architecture, special perspectives, the use of light etc. always inspire me again and again. Editing the photos with Adode Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop then creates images with a wow-effect.

For the following projects I am able to book:

• documentation from a house, courtyard and garden
• businessphotos on Location (staff photos, photogalleries)
• fashion shootings
• photo galleries for the Internet & books (architecture, landscapes, cities, etc.).

Is your project missing? Then talk to me with your idea!
