What really matters
The nuts and bolts of job application photos
We would like to give you some information on the essential aspects of job application photos. Experience shows that there are often misunderstandings or false expectations.
The most important aim of the picture is to present the applicant positively.
The beholder - your potential new employer - has to find the person in the picture likeable. It is our task to convey this feeling in your pictures. If this element is missing, the picture is definitely of no use.
The authentic depiction of you is another extremely important aspect.
There is no point in showing a 25-year-old young professional who has just completed his degree as self-confident manager. As soon as the employer sees his CV, he will realise that the picture and the application's contents do not match. This might raise doubts, which is certainly to be avoided. And we will never depict a professionally experienced lady at an advanced age as a shy wallflower with Barbie-like skin.
This only leads to misunderstandings. Of course, image editing enables us to retouch all wrinkles or remove a double chin. However, particularly with regard to this picture type, it is important that you go to your job interview just as the picture shows you.
Furthermore, it is essential that the beholder perceives your efforts of having chosen a professional photographer and having avoided photo booths or quick shoots while passing by a photo studio.
This is a fundamental aspect, which is easy to handle as the picture language, section and editing provided by us will definitely meet your requirements.
