Corporate photography in Germany
Executive portraits, employer branding and company reportage. Based in Dresden, working in English.
A local photographer for an international team
If your company has a site in Saxony, the problem is rarely finding a photographer. It is finding one who can turn up at short notice, work in English, keep the look consistent across visits and hand over usable files without a chase.
My studio is in Dresden. I have photographed for TSMC, GSK, Fujitsu and A. Lange & Söhne, so I know how corporate approval chains work and what a communications team actually needs on delivery day.

What a corporate assignment covers
Executive portraits
Board and leadership portraits for annual reports, investor relations and the press. Composed and calm rather than corporate-cheerful.
Team headshots
One consistent look across the whole organisation, whichever site or floor people sit on. Delivered in the crops LinkedIn and your CMS expect.
Employer branding
Images for career pages and recruitment that show the actual workplace, which is what candidates are trying to judge.
Company reportage
Sites, production, labs and processes documented as a coherent story rather than a set of unrelated stock-style frames.
Events & conferences
Keynotes, panels, trade fairs and openings, including groundbreaking ceremonies and other press-facing milestones.
Photo & video
Stills and moving image captured in one production, sharing a single visual language across both.
Selected work
Working in Saxony
Dresden is home to Silicon Saxony, one of the largest semiconductor clusters in Europe. That has brought a steady stream of international companies to the region, and with them the practical need for photography that meets head-office standards but can be booked locally and at short notice.
I have worked for TSMC and Fujitsu in this context, and for GSK and A. Lange & Söhne elsewhere in Saxony. The range matters: the requirements of a global group and those of a mid-sized manufacturer commissioning professional images for the first time are not the same, and neither should be treated as the default.
A typical assignment starts with a short call about the goal, the look and the logistics. On the day I set up discreetly so the business keeps running. Edited images follow within five to seven working days, and usage rights are settled in writing beforehand rather than negotiated afterwards.
Beyond Dresden I work regularly in Leipzig and Berlin, and travel further for multi-site work. The German-language version of this page is at Corporate Fotograf Dresden.
FAQ
Common questions
Yes. Briefings, direction during the shoot, licence terms and delivery notes all run in English when that is easier for the team. A good share of my corporate work is for international companies and agencies.
Around thirty, with several variations each. I set up in a meeting room or reception area and work through a schedule, allowing five to ten minutes per person. Larger headcounts are handled across consecutive days so the look stays consistent.
Yes. If you have brand guidelines, an existing image library or a specific treatment to match, send them over before the shoot. Matching an established look across new locations is a common request.
Whatever the project needs, agreed in writing before we shoot. Scope, territory and duration are stated in the quote, so nothing is unresolved once the images are published.
Yes. Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin are routine, and I travel further for multi-site assignments. For Dresden and the surrounding region there is normally no travel surcharge.
Edited images arrive within five to seven working days, in print resolution plus web and social crops. For press-facing events I send a first selection within 48 hours, or the same evening if needed.
