About me
Hey there! My name is Lars. I am a learning hobby photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. I started my journey in 2023, so I am still quite new to the party. However, I offer my services for free, and I am always striving for opportunities to get better!
If you are interested in a free photo shooting, please see my work ethics down below. Also, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have ideas, questions, or feedback. Also make sure to check out my portfolio and leave a comment. Thanks a lot, and have a great day! :)
Impressions
Here are a few (non-portrait) pictures I shot over the course of the past few years. So far, I have been following different styles and techniques, always trying to keep an open mind and try out new things. However, in the future, I will start focussing more on things that make a picture fantastic for me personally, which are contrasts, hidden beauty, and the capturing of true emotions. Hence, I will focus more on portraits and working with people.
Moral Code For Photo Shoots
My general policy is that you own all pictures of yourself.
Hence, when I take pictures of you, I will keep them on my devices to review and learn from them. This is the one thing I am asking for. However, before posting any of the pictures anywhere, I will ask for your explicit permission to do so. You have full distributative control over your pictures, and I will never post any of your pictures without permission to do so.
In other words: For a photo shooting, the worst case is a wasted afternoon with a few bad pictures as a result. The best case is a fantastic afternoon with some great pictures you can use arbitrarily.
That’s the deal. Nothing more – nothing less.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or requests. Thanks!

FAQ
Frequently asked questions answered.
"Are you a professional?"
Nope! Photography is a hobby I've been doing since 2023, and always look for new motives, perspectives, and people to learn from.
"I think about getting (free) pictures taken of me, what should I do?"
Please refer to the section above! :)
"I am interested in modeling, but I don't feel very photogenic..."
I believe that humans are inherently beautiful and that photo shootings can greatly increase one's confidence and self-perception. In addition, I promise you to not post the pictures anywhere without your explicit consent. No pressure of any kind.
"What if I have no idea for a photo shooting?"
No problem, we will figure something out! Everybody is different and if you don't have a specific idea, we will find something that you would like me to capture. Examples include a hobby of yours, an emotion, a moment with your pet, or just your favorite outfit.
"Are there any limits as to the things you would try?"
Nope! As long as it's lawful, I am willing to try pretty much everything, whether you would like some portraits, plan a revolutionary art project, or just need a picture for your CV. I might not have too much experience in a specific field, but feel free to get in touch and we will discuss your idea(s).
"What equipment do you use?"
I mainly use a digital bridge camera and some basic equipment around that, such as a tripod, an external flash, camera bag and so on. However, I have a very small home studio as well (just enough for a CV picture) and I am getting more and more into film photography as well. Stay tuned! ;)
"I am not interested in a photo shooting, but I would still like to get in touch."
Sure thing, no problem! Feel free to contact and surprise me. You can also check out my account on fotocommunity.de :)
