How to find the right starting point

You start with an area and a package that is already close to your plan. It is not a final cage, but a clean starting point.

After that, you can see what happens when more time, more people, another place, extra retouching or extended usage are added. The price stays understandable without you having to plan everything perfectly upfront.

Clear start

I do not want you to sort through photographic jargon first. You should see what is included, what changes the price and when an adjustment actually makes sense.

Start with the area and package closest to your project.

The packages give you a useful starting point. Then you can adjust duration, people, occasion, place, retouching and usage rights so the setup fits your shoot.

The area decides which questions actually matter: private, professional, as a group or with commercial usage.

If you need one portrait or a small profile update, this is the cleanest starting point without inflating the scope.

Useful when the shoot should deliberately stay light and does not need to become a production.

  • Delivery is digital and straightforward by default. No extra detours, no unnecessary friction.
  • Before the final booking, there is always a short introduction or planning call, virtual or in person.

If you only need one clear image for an application, a profile or a single motif, a short slot is often enough. More time on site usually means more variation, more image material and more selection afterwards.

Each additional person does not automatically increase the time on site, but it usually increases motifs, combinations and variants. That mainly affects selection and basic editing.

The location does not automatically change the price. It does affect how the images feel, how calm the shoot can be and whether a quick check beforehand makes sense.

Occasion

No special occasion

An occasion usually changes more than the motif. Engagement, pregnancy, newborn or personal brand sessions often need a little more coordination, calm or selection afterwards.

Location Check

My standard locations

This is about whether the place works photographically: light, space, background, calm and whether anything is currently in the way. If you are unsure, we clarify it beforehand.

More detail

Even familiar places can change. When it makes sense, I quickly check whether there is construction, a crane, a closure or anything else in the way.

More detail

You can send photos or show me the place in a video call. Then we quickly see whether it works or whether we should choose an alternative.

More detail

This makes sense when the place is an important part of the image. If you are unsure, select it; we can still decide together whether it is really needed.

Location change

No location change

A second place often adds variety, but also effort. It is not only the move itself; it also means new motifs, new light and more selection afterwards.

The location change only starts making sense from 30 minutes of shooting time and increases selection and basic editing by 10% each.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which package should I choose?

Start with the package closest to your goal. It does not have to be perfect. If duration, people, place or usage do not quite fit, you can adjust the selection directly below.

What do I receive after the shoot?

You receive a carefully curated selection of basic-edited images. Depending on the package, fully retouched favorites are included as well. The basic edit handles look, color and clean delivery; full retouching is for individual images that should be polished in detail.

Why do number of people and shooting duration change the price?

More time usually means more variation and more image material. More people mean more combinations, more selection and more coordination during editing. Neither is dramatic, but it is real work and should stay visible.

What is the difference between private and commercial use?

Private use is straightforwardly included. If images are used for a website, self-employment, a company, recruiting, advertising or campaigns, that is a different usage. Then it should be clear what you are allowed to use the images for and what is included in the price.

Is the displayed price binding?

No, it is an honest guide for your current selection. For the final booking, we briefly look at flow, image goal, place and usage together. After that you receive a quote that actually fits your shoot.

Do I need to know everything before enquiring?

No. If the area, package and rough direction fit, that is enough to start. We clarify open questions about location, look, retouching or usage afterwards.

How do we check whether a location works?

With my studio or a rental studio, the location is already clear. Outdoor, I can often work with known places in Mannheim and the region. If we shoot at your home, company or another place of yours, we briefly check via photos or video call whether light, space and background work. For more specific wishes, I can search for a location.

When is a rental studio or a location change worth it?

A rental studio is worth it when you need a controlled look, more space or a clear background. A location change is only worth it when the second place really makes different images possible. Otherwise, a calm flow is often stronger than unnecessary movement.

Can I add more fully retouched images later?

Yes. In the calculator you can see directly how many full retouches are planned. If you notice after selection that a few additional favorites are especially strong, we can add them cleanly.

If the direction fits, that is already enough for a good enquiry.

You do not need everything locked down yet. If area, package and rough adjustments are right, we can clarify the rest together.
