Jakob is the warmest human being I’ve met all year! He knows his work and executes it beautifully. Thank you for sharing your lens with me; you’ve truly captured my essence. To anyone else reading this and contemplating whether to work with Jakob—this is your sign to book him now. Looking forward to our next booking!
I had the pleasure of working with Jakob for a photo shoot, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From the very first moment, Jakob made me feel comfortable, seen, and at ease in front of the camera. He has a rare talent for capturing not only the outer image but also the inner essence of a person, which made the results feel both authentic and beautiful. The session itself was wonderful. Jakob has a private outdoor space where we were able to take more natural, relaxed pictures, and his art studio is filled with beautiful natural light that makes every shot glow. It was also very easy to reach him by public transport, which made the whole process stress-free. What impressed me even more was his dedication to the final results. Jakob worked carefully on the pictures taken, making small but very effective corrections to enhance my features without ever losing authenticity. His many years of experience really show, as he also offered me valuable advice on how to take steps forward in my journey. The cost is absolutely worth it — very competitive on the market for the level of quality and professionalism he provides. The final photos exceeded all my expectations: vibrant, expressive, and something I will truly treasure. I wholeheartedly recommend Jakob to anyone looking for a photographer who combines technical skill, artistic vision, and genuine warmth. Truly a five-star experience.

I highly recommend working with Jakob! His photography is absolutely stunning, and his ability to create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere during the session made the experience truly enjoyable.

I got my headshots taken with Jakob, and he managed to make a complete novice like me feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. The whole process was fun and relaxed, and his energy was contagious. If you’re looking for a talented, patient, and uplifting photographer, I’d wholeheartedly recommend working with him.
Jakob is just the sweetest, most knowledgeable and helpful photographer I have had the pleasure to shoot with. He had actual knowledge of what different people within the Modeling and acting industry are looking for in Fotos and is able to assist you with finding the right poses. If you have already stood in front of the camera many times or never before, doesn’t matter. He is able to give you the right advice and make you feel extra comfortable in your skin and in the spotlight! Thanks again for the fun shoot and beautiful pictures. Groetjes, Dana
