Why corporate headshots in Berlin
A headshot photographer in Berlin rarely works in a glossy corporate lobby. Many companies here sit in converted courtyards, Altbau floors or shared workspaces, and those rooms make better backgrounds than a plain studio wall — exposed brick, timber, a stairwell with daylight. At the same time, a team page needs consistency, especially when people join at different times or split their week between home and the office. That is why the work is done with portable lighting set up the same way wherever it goes. A headshot made in Friedrichshain in spring then matches the one added for a new colleague in Mitte in autumn. Individuals can book as well, but from about six people an office visit is the cheaper arrangement.
Mornings work best, before meetings break up the day and faces get tired. For teams, one fixed day with ten-minute slots per person keeps disruption low. Ahead of a trade fair, a conference or a website launch the calendar fills, so allow two or three weeks. New starters can be added later with the identical set-up, and the series still reads as one.
How the session runs
The set-up needs a room of roughly four by three metres with one clear wall, plus ten minutes to build. Windows help but are not essential, since we bring our own light. People come in one at a time, see a few frames on screen, and are back at their desk in around ten minutes. A second, environmental background is set up elsewhere in the office — against brick, or by a window onto the courtyard. Fifteen retouched photographs per person follow within 48 hours, cropped square and 4:5 for profiles.
