Why personal branding in Hamburg

Hamburg gives a personal branding photographer two very different settings within walking distance of each other. Indoors there is your own workplace, which shows what you actually do. Outdoors there is brick, water and the harbour, a setting that reads unmistakably as Hamburg without looking like a postcard, as long as it is treated as background rather than subject. Two and a half hours covers both: a portrait, scenes at work and frames in conversation, each shot in portrait, landscape and square. The order matters. Because the weather here changes quickly, the indoor scenes are fixed and the outdoor ones are kept flexible, so a passing shower does not derail the session.

From April to October the outdoor frames fit easily into a working day, and in summer into the early evening too. In winter they belong around midday, with the indoor scenes before or after. Hold the briefing on visual language and intended use about two weeks before the session, so clothes, props and places are settled and any colleagues needed for conversation scenes are available.

How the session runs

The session starts where you work, whether that is an office, a workshop or a coworking space, and the at-work and conversation scenes happen there. Then we head outside for portraits, ideally on foot — a canal in the Speicherstadt or the harbour edge, for instance. Outdoors it is camera only, with no stands or lights, since a commercial production with a rig in the Speicherstadt has to be registered. Sixty edited images, cropped for every platform you use, follow within a week.

Where we photograph in Hamburg

  1. 01

    Speicherstadt und Wasserschloss

    Red brick over narrow canals, and the alleys are tight enough that direct sun only reaches in around midday. So this is not a golden-hour location but a blue-hour one: from dusk the Speicherstadt is lit and looks like the thing it holds the World Heritage listing for.

    Best time:
    Blue hour, as the lighting comes on
    Permit:
    Streets and bridges free. A commercial production with any rig: registration with HHLA
  2. 02

    Plaza der Elbphilharmonie

    Thirty-seven metres above the harbour, open on every side, and free to enter — you only need a timed slot booked in advance. The west side gives you the Elbe and the cranes, the east side the Speicherstadt, and the circuit takes ten minutes.

    Best time:
    An hour before sunset
    Permit:
    A free timed ticket is required. Commercial photography only by arrangement
  3. 03

    Treppenviertel Blankenese

    Some five thousand steps between captains’ houses falling south to the Elbe — Hamburg’s only slope and its only place with afternoon light from the front. People live here, so the work is quiet and without a rig.

    Best time:
    Late afternoon
    Permit:
    Free — public stairs, but a residential area
  4. 04

    Alsterwiesen und Außenalster

    An inland lake in the middle of the city with a seven-kilometre path round it and sails on it into October. The west bank takes the morning and the east bank the evening — a distinction that matters more here than elsewhere, because there is no shade to hide behind.

    Best time:
    Morning, or the hour before sunset
    Permit:
    Free — public meadows and lakeside path
  5. 05

    Alter Elbtunnel

    Four hundred metres of framed tube twenty-four metres under the Elbe, symmetrical to the vanishing point and identical in any weather. This is the fallback when it is raining sideways outside — and often the best frame of the day.

    Best time:
    Weekdays outside the rush
    Permit:
    Free — but a working piece of transport infrastructure

Questions

Can I use Speicherstadt photographs on my business website?

Photographs taken from its public streets and bridges without any rig are straightforward, and use on your own website is part of the package. Once lighting, stands or a larger crew are involved, registration with HHLA is required, which is why we work there with the camera alone.

I work from home. Where do the at-work scenes happen?

Either at home, if the room suits, or in a café or coworking space where you could plausibly work — most Hamburg neighbourhoods have several. What matters is that the place fits what you do convincingly, and we settle that during the briefing.

How many outfits should I bring?

Two or three, matched to the three situations. For the waterfront frames, bring a layer that sits well in wind, because outdoors in Hamburg there is nearly always more breeze than you expect. Solid mid-tones work better against red brick than patterns.
