Outdoor portrait photography at Lake Chiemsee & the Chiemgau

Lake Chiemsee, the Chiemgau Alps, the fields and woods around Traunstein – hardly any region offers such a dreamlike backdrop for an outdoor portrait or a photo shoot at Lake Chiemsee.

My people shoots aren't about perfect poses or stiff pictures. They're about capturing you just as you really are – natural, alive and full of character. Together we pick a place that suits you, and the rest happens all by itself.

Whether you're in front of the camera on your own, with your partner, your family or your friends – I make sure the mood stays relaxed and real moments emerge. Especially for families with children, a family shoot in the Chiemgau is a lovely opportunity: child-friendly, relaxed and with no pressure to pose.

My coverage area

As a photographer in the Chiemgau, I work all around Lake Chiemsee – whether as a photographer in Traunstein, for a photo shoot at Lake Chiemsee in Prien, in Bernau, Aschau, Übersee, Seebruck, Chieming or right on the lakeshore. I'm also happy to come to Rosenheim and the nearer surroundings. Together we'll find the perfect spot for your shoot.

What to expect at a portrait shoot

Many people arrive at a photo shoot feeling nervous – that's completely normal, and it's exactly why I start every shoot with a relaxed walk or chat before the camera really gets going. In my experience, the nicest images emerge once you've almost forgotten about the shoot.

Together we pick a place that suits you: the shore of Lake Chiemsee, a forest path in the Chiemgau or a field near Traunstein. The region offers so much for outdoor portraits – and I know a few photo spots off the tourist trail.

Tips for your outdoor shoot

  • Choose clothing you genuinely feel comfortable in – not costumes, just you
  • Morning and evening (the golden hour) offer the softest, most beautiful light
  • Feel free to bring something that's part of you – a book, flowers, your dog
  • Allow 20–30 minutes extra – relaxed images happen without time pressure

For couples, families & individuals

A couple shoot at Lake Chiemsee isn't just exciting for weddings – anniversaries, engagements or simply a beautiful moment for two are a wonderful reason for photos together in nature. Family photos outdoors, where children can still be children and parents look relaxed: that's my aim for family shoots in the Chiemgau.

For individuals I offer both outdoor portrait shoots at Lake Chiemsee and studio shoots in Traunstein. Whether for your new LinkedIn account, a profile picture for your own website or simply for yourself – professional portraits make a difference you can see straight away.

  • Couple shoots: Lake Chiemsee shore, Chiemgau Alps, fields & woods
  • Family shoots: a child-friendly pace, real moments instead of stiff posing
  • Business portraits: outdoors or in the Traunstein studio
  • Outdoor price: from €199 · Studio price: €150

Frequently asked questions

Where do the outdoor shoots take place?

Usually outdoors at a place that suits you – on the shore of Lake Chiemsee, in the meadows and woods of the Chiemgau, or somewhere that means something to you. If you have no idea, I'll suggest fitting spots in the region.

How long does a portrait shoot take?

Plan for around one to one and a half hours. That's enough to arrive, loosen up and get plenty of variety in poses and backgrounds – without it feeling like piecework.

What should I wear?

Ideally something you feel comfortable in and that suits you. Calm colours and natural tones look best against the Chiemgau landscape. Before the session you'll get specific tips from me on outfit and posing.

Do I need to know how to pose for the camera?

No. I guide you through the whole shoot – with small tasks and movement instead of stiff poses. The nicest images happen in the moments in between anyway.

Do you also work as a photographer in Traunstein?

Yes – Traunstein is my home. As a photographer in Traunstein I'm there for portrait, couple and family shoots just as much as at Lake Chiemsee and in the Chiemgau. For a shoot in Traunstein and the surrounding area, I'm happy to come to wherever you feel comfortable.
