Application photos: Tips for a first impression

What do you have to consider for successful application photos? What should you wear and what is the best way to present yourself? Here's a handful Tips on styling for application photos from our Photogenika photo studios in Munich.

A neat appearance for application photos

For a well-groomed appearance, especially for application photos, men should possibly shave again before the shoot, unless they also wear a beard in everyday life. Natural make-up usually works best for women – blemishes and dark circles can be removed in post-processing without any problems. A make-up artist can also be booked on site when making an appointment.

The right clothes for successful application photos

The appropriate clothing depends primarily on your industry and your prospective employer. For very conservative companies and traditional professions, such as bank clerk, you should definitely wear a shirt with a jacket and tie, or a blouse with a blazer, in your application photo. If you are applying to young, modern companies or in the creative or social sector, you can easily forgo the tie or replace the blouse with an elegant top. For guidance, it can be helpful to look at how the employees of the company you are applying to are presented on their website. Generally speaking, for successful application photos, choose well-fitting clothes in the correct size, always coordinate colors appropriately, and avoid overly bright colors, unusual patterns, low necklines, see-through fabrics, and short-sleeved tops.

The right look makes the difference

However, the most important thing in the picture is your charisma! How would you like to focus on your Application Photos How do you want to present yourself? What reflects your personality? Choose an outfit you would also wear to a job interview and that you feel comfortable in. Because if you feel uncomfortable, it can definitely show in your application photos. If you're still unsure what to wear, feel free to bring several outfits to your appointment, and we'll help you decide! Receive comprehensive and expert advice in one of our photo studios.
