Carsten Plückhahn - Fotografie des Lebens

My primary work is portrait and business photography: creating images that convey personality, professionalism and trust. With more than a decade of experience I combine technical skill, a management background and sensitivity to micro‑expressions to produce compelling headshots, application photos and natural family portraits. I work calmly and empathetically, guiding clients step by step so even those uncomfortable in front of the camera can look and feel authentic. In family and newborn sessions I favor relaxed home‑settings where timeless, tender moments can unfold without pressure. In the studio I provide focused advice on expression, posture and styling for business portraits—ideal for LinkedIn, applications or corporate profiles. My guiding principle is consistency: pictures that work for your goals and communicate real value. Wedding photography is an occasional, complementary service: I sometimes photograph civil ceremonies, small intimate weddings and elopements in northern Germany. My approach to wedding days is discreet and reportage‑oriented, concentrating on genuine moments rather than staged spectacle. Typical offers include compact reportages of 2–3 hours, engagement sessions and relaxed couple shoots. I do not position myself as a full‑service wedding specialist, but as a portrait photographer who can sensitively capture intimate celebrations. Why choose me: I bring calm, experience and an empathetic process—whether in the studio for a business headshot, at home for family images, or while quietly documenting a small wedding. You’ll receive personal attention, professional equipment and a photographic style that values authenticity. If you primarily need a reliable portrait or family photographer and would like a thoughtful, low‑key photographic accompaniment for an intimate wedding or engagement, let’s talk and find the right format for your story.
