Headshots for Berlin professionals who hate having their photo taken

A relaxed half-hour, a photographer who actually directs you, and a profile photo you'll stop apologising for. Studio-quality light, on location across Berlin or in studio, delivered in a few days.

Your LinkedIn photo is costing you

Your work is sharp. Your LinkedIn photo was taken at a wedding in 2019, slightly cropped, slightly blurry. It's the first thing a client, an investor or a hiring manager sees, and right now it's underselling you. A good headshot isn't vanity. It's the cheapest credibility upgrade you can buy.

Why me

I'm Brooke, a portrait photographer based in Berlin, originally from New Zealand. I shoot in English, I direct the whole way through (you don't need to know what to do with your hands, that's my job), and I edit to look like you on a good day, not a waxwork.

Most people walk in tense and certain they're "not photogenic." They leave with images they actually use. That's the whole offer.

I come from a fine-art black-and-white printmaking background, which mostly shows up as a sharper eye for light, contrast and character than your average corporate-headshot conveyor belt.

1. Book and brief. Pick a package and a time online. I'll send a short prep note: what to wear, what to bring, how to show up looking like yourself.

2. Shoot. 30 minutes to 2 hours, in studio or on location in Berlin. I direct every frame and we review on the spot, so you leave knowing we got it.

FAQ

Do I need to speak German? No, sessions run in English. German is welcome too.

I'm really not photogenic / I hate being photographed. That's the most common thing I hear, and it's almost always wrong. It just means no one has directed you properly. I do that the whole way through. You don't need to pose or know your angles.

Studio or on location? Both work. Studio for a clean, consistent corporate look; on location around Berlin for something more personal and environmental. Tell me the use and I'll recommend.

What should I wear? You'll get a short prep guide after booking. Short version: solid colours, things that fit well, bring one or two options.

How fast do I get the images? Final retouched selects within 48 to 72 hours of you choosing your favourites.

Can my whole team get headshots? Yes, I run on-site team headshot mornings for Berlin companies, priced per head or as a half or full day. Ask for a team quote on the Book page.

What's the film frame in the Premium package? One portrait shot on actual film for a distinctive, timeless finish alongside your digital set. A small signature touch, not a gimmick.
