Why personal branding in Berlin

Working with a personal branding photographer in Berlin involves two practical questions before any creative ones. The first is permission. Images for your website, course or profile count as commercial use, and in parks administered by Grün Berlin that means registration and a fee; public streets remain free. The second is geography. Portrait, work and conversation — the three situations in this session — only fit into two and a half hours if they are close together. A café, a workspace and a characterful street within one neighbourhood produce far more usable images than three landmarks in three districts. For freelancers, founders and creatives here, the setting also says something about their work, so it should match the part of the city where they actually operate.

Weekday mornings suit this best: cafés are quieter, shared workspaces are calmer, and street light is still soft. Allow two or three weeks so any park registration and café arrangements can be settled. If the images are for a launch or a talk, schedule the session at least a month before, so the gallery is ready in time.

How the session runs

The briefing covers where the images will be used, and from that we fix the three situations. A typical plan in Neukölln might begin with portraits on a quiet corner with a good façade, move to working frames in your studio or coworking space, and finish with conversation shots in a café we have asked in advance. Each location is a few minutes’ walk from the next. Every situation is shot vertical, horizontal and square, with room for text. Sixty edited photographs follow within a week.

Where we photograph in Berlin

  1. 01

    Oberbaumbrücke und Landwehrkanal

    The bridge faces west along the Spree, so the evening sun sits inside it. The Landwehrkanal alongside is ten minutes of plane trees with no tourists in it, and works all year — in winter because the bare branches let the reflections in the water through.

    Best time:
    The last hour before sunset
    Permit:
    Free — public street and towpath
  2. 02

    Tempelhofer Feld

    Three hundred hectares of runway with not one building behind it — the only place in Berlin with a real horizon. Which is exactly why it is the best backlight in the city and the worst place in a wind, and there is always a wind.

    Best time:
    The hour before sunset, in a westerly
    Permit:
    Free privately. Commercially: registration with Grün Berlin GmbH is required
  3. 03

    Museumsinsel und Bodemuseum

    The prow of the Bode-Museum splits the Spree and is the one Berlin frame that needs no explaining. At seven it is yours; from ten the coach parties are standing on the Monbijou bridge you photograph it from.

    Best time:
    Before eight in the morning
    Permit:
    Outside: free. Courtyards and colonnades: commercial work needs written permission from the SPK
  4. 04

    Viktoriapark und Kreuzberg

    The only hill the city has: sixty-six metres, an artificial waterfall and a view north over the roofs. Not a mountain, but the one place a Berlin session gets any height at all.

    Best time:
    Late afternoon
    Permit:
    Free — public park
  5. 05

    Sowjetisches Ehrenmal und Plänterwald, Treptow

    A three-hundred-metre axis between weeping willows, built to make people look small — which is exactly why it works for two of them. The Plänterwald next to it is actual forest, ten minutes from the S-Bahn, and in October the best colour in the city.

    Best time:
    Morning, on a weekday
    Permit:
    Free — a memorial; photography allowed, tripods restricted

Questions

Do I need permission to shoot in a café or coworking space?

Not from the authorities, but from the owner. Most places in Berlin agree to a quiet weekday morning if asked ahead and if other customers are not disturbed. We secure that agreement before confirming the date, and frame the shots so that no other guests are recognisable.

I am new to Berlin and do not have a workspace yet. What then?

That is common. We can use a shared workspace with a day pass, a library reading room where photography is permitted, or a friend’s studio. The aim is to show you working in a believable setting. We will suggest options in your neighbourhood during the briefing.

Can the session include a landmark such as the Fernsehturm in the background?

Yes, if it means something for your brand. The TV tower is visible from many streets in Mitte and Friedrichshain, so it can appear in the distance without a detour. We use it sparingly, because a landmark in every frame pulls attention away from you.
