Photos We All Need
Directly to the Application Photos
NEW FROM MAY 1, 2025 – E-PASSPORT PHOTO ONLY FROM AUTHORIZED PHOTOGRAPHERS
Security, quality, and digital transmission from a single source
From May 1, 2025, new regulations for passport photos will apply in Germany: For all new ID cards, passports, and residence permits, the passport photo must be digitally and securely transmitted to the ID authority – the so-called e-passport photo. This fundamentally changes the entire process of passport photo creation.
Why the office and machines are no longer sufficient
The creation of e-passport photos will only be possible in the future through certified photographers and selected service providers. Photos from conventional machines or self-provided printouts will no longer be accepted. Taking photos directly at the office will also be discontinued in many cases, as many authorities are relying on external qualified partners. This is because photos taken at machines must be done under supervision!
Advantages at our photo studio – Your secure connection to the authorities
✅ Officially certified: We are an officially authorized e-passport photo provider. Your biometric photo will be transmitted directly and encrypted to the responsible authority – including a photo code that you present when applying.
✅ Biometrically correct officially recognized: Thanks to our many years of experience, we guarantee you images that meet all current standards – from the correct facial section to precise lighting.
✅ Discreet professional: Instead of using public machines, you receive a personal photo session in a pleasant studio atmosphere – especially suitable for children, seniors, or people with special needs.
✅ Secure GDPR-compliant: Your images are processed in compliance with GDPR and used exclusively for the intended purpose. No unsecured data transfer, no unnecessary storage.
✅ E-passport photos of babies must now (unfortunately) also follow the strict regulations. You’ll go crazy at the photo booth 😉
Conclusion:
With the new e-passport photo procedure, the passport photo becomes a digital ID component. Don’t leave anything to chance: Have your photos taken by a professional, certified photographer – direct, secure, and officially recognized.
Book an appointment now – we’ll take care of your digital passport photos!
For driver’s licenses, as of today, paper photos still need to be used. The driver’s license offices are not yet connected to the e-passport photo system. That means we can still remove the occasional pimple, if desired 😉
Even though as a photographer I generally find these biometric passport photos terrible, you can still make the best of the current regulations. Even though these are quick, I have a request: Please call briefly to check if it’s convenient, or make an appointment. We’ll create both the biometric e-passport photos, which are mandatory for ID cards, passports, and immigration offices, as well as the nice version for sports IDs, student IDs, etc. We’re not allowed to edit them in that sense, but with lighting and permitted adjustments, we’ll get the best out of your passport photos.
Starting at only €20
For bedridden / disabled individuals, we’re happy to come to your home
From May 1, 2025, only digital e-passport photos will be mandatory for passport photos for ID cards passports, residence permits. The only exception is if the office has not yet upgraded. (For driver’s licenses, only paper photos are still possible) Of course, you can get both from us. You can find more information here on our blog.
Following the motto, you go to the office and your passport photo is already waiting for you there 😉
Application photos
A proper photoshoot – Don’t worry, it doesn’t take forever!
Of course, an application photo isn’t like a fashion shoot – but first impressions count! And they’re more important than you think: Our brain decides in just 2/10 of a second whether someone seems “likeable” or “not so likeable”. Imagine how that turns out with a biometric passport photo… 😉
By the way, I regularly have HR managers in the studio, and the topic of application photos is always a hot discussion. There are some funny stories! The best one was about a judge who wanted to apply to the district court with a bikini photo. 😉 But I’d better not reveal the outcome now… 😉
So, do it right! A professional application photo – authentic, well-lit, and perfectly staged – ensures that you shine from the start with the right vibes!
Opt for the perfect appearance – With high-quality application photos that impress!
In the world of job applications, first impressions count. Your application photo must not only look good but also highlight your personality and professionalism. With precise lighting, targeted body language, and professional retouching, we guarantee you a photo that leaves a lasting impression.
No Room for AI Apps – Application Photos Belong in Professional Hands
Application photos from AI generators or apps often appear unnatural, interchangeable, and lack authenticity. AI creations can be detected from the image file.
A professional photographer puts you in the right light – with genuine expression, appropriate body language, and an eye for detail.
Because HR decision-makers recognize the difference: Real photos create trust.
Why choose our application photos?
✅Skilled Lighting: We put you in the perfect light and emphasize your best qualities. With individual lighting, we create an image that looks both natural and impressive.
✅Expressive Body Language: With targeted guidance, we ensure that your posture and facial expressions reflect your self-confidence and competence.
✅Professional Retouching: We refine your image with subtle retouching that maintains your natural radiance without appearing artificial – for an authentic and convincing overall picture.
Rely on an application photo that highlights your strengths. Schedule an appointment today and show yourself from your best side!
We are also happy to advise you on clothes, styling. Here too, our makeup artist can be booked with sufficient advance notice .
And HR managers also expect subtle editing. Among other things, HR managers also judge how serious an applicant is based on the professionalism of the photo.
In general, we offer options for paper photos, digital files, or both, as well as unretouched or professionally retouched (which we generally recommend). With the digital file, you receive both the color and black/white versions of your photo.
A final thought: Imagine you were the boss. Two applications are on your desk – one with a passport photo or private snapshot, the other with a professional, impressive application photo. Which application would you invite for an interview first? The answer is obvious.
