Personal Branding Photoshoot Vienna: Images That Look Like You

Why Does Your Website Look Like Everyone Else's?

Stock photos. Handshakes against white backgrounds. Smiling people with headsets. You know exactly which images I mean — and so do your clients. They scroll past.

A personal branding photoshoot solves this exact problem. Instead of generic images, you get photos that look like you. Photos that tell your story, show your personality and build trust — before you've said a single word.

I'm Alexandru, business photographer in Vienna, and I've been creating personal branding photos for over 12 years. For coaches, consultants, therapists, lawyers, architects and everyone who stands behind their work with their face.

What Is a Personal Branding Photoshoot?

Not a classic portrait shoot. Not a stiff application photo. A personal branding shoot delivers a complete image set for your entire presence:

Website header & about page — the image visitors see first

LinkedIn & XING profile picture — professional yet human

Social media content — Instagram, Facebook, posts that look like you

Business cards, flyers, press kit — consistent visual identity

Blog posts & newsletters — images that bring your texts to life

The difference from a normal headshot: we don't just photograph your face, but your work. The laptop, the notebook, the tools, the environment — everything that shows what you do and how you do it.

Who Is a Personal Branding Shoot For?

For anyone who stands behind their work with their name:

Freelancers — web designers, copywriters, translators, developers

Coaches & consultants — business coaches, life coaches, management consultants

Therapists & doctors — psychologists, physiotherapists, dentists

Lawyers & accountants — trust comes from the face behind the name

Architects & creatives — portfolio images that show your signature

Speakers & authors — press photos that event organizers can use immediately

If you have a website and your photo is on it (or should be), you need a personal branding shoot.

How a Personal Branding Shoot Works With Me

1. Pre-consultation (free): We talk for 15-20 minutes. I ask: Who are your clients? Where will you use the images? What mood should come across — serious, relaxed, creative? This becomes our concept.2. Outfit & styling: I give you concrete tips on what to wear. Usually I recommend 2-3 outfits: one business, one casual, one that shows how you actually work. No loud patterns, no big logos.3. The shoot (1-2 hours): We start in the studio or at an outdoor location in Vienna. I give you direction that feels natural — you don't need to model. We work with different backgrounds, perspectives and details.4. Selection & editing: You receive an online gallery with all images and choose your favourites. I edit each image individually — colour, light, natural skin retouching. No Photoshop look.5. Delivery: Your finished images in all formats: web (fast loading), social media (square, story format), print (high resolution). Within 5-7 working days.

5 Tips for Your Personal Branding Shoot

1. Know who you're speaking to. A coach for executives needs different images than a yoga instructor. The photos need to match your clients, not just you.2. Bring props. Laptop, notebook, coffee cup, your product — anything that makes your work visible. These details make your images unique.3. Plan 2-3 outfits. Then you have options for different channels. The business outfit for LinkedIn, the casual one for Instagram, the middle ground for your website.4. No selfie smile. Relax. The best photos happen when you're not thinking about being photographed. I'll make sure of that.5. Book before your website relaunch. A new website with old photos is like a new shop with old furnishings. The images should match the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not photogenic — will it still work? Nobody is "not photogenic." You're just not used to being professionally photographed. My job is to show you as you really are — and that always looks good.Can I use the images commercially? Yes, without restriction. All images come with commercial usage rights: website, social media, advertising, print — everything covered.Studio or outdoor — what's better? Depends on your brand. An accountant looks more serious in a studio. An outdoor coach needs images in nature. We'll discuss this in the pre-consultation.How many images do I get? Depending on the package, 10-40+ fully edited images. That's enough for website, social media and press — often for an entire year.
