Photography for Authors in Berlin – Highlighting Your Unique Profile
Are you a writer planning to publish your book? Whether you create literature, poetry, scientific works, or political texts – every author aiming to release a new book should present themselves as a unique personality. You are your brand, and it helps you stand out and be recognizable in the market. It's not just your ideas that matter – you, as an author, are equally valuable, and this should be shared with the world.
Professional photos are essential: Authors without high-quality portrait photos may come across as less credible or unprofessional. Professional photography not only enhances your recognition value but also boosts your confidence for marketing yourself on social media, your website, book launches, festivals, or literary events.
Photography for Authors in Berlin: Elevate Your Personal Brand
Bei der Veröffentlichung eines Buches geht es nicht nur um Texte, sondern auch um Ihre Präsentation. Pressemitteilungen, Interviews und Veranstaltungen erfordern häufig ein Autoren:innenfoto – ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil Ihres Marketing-Kits.
Fotos für Autor:innen erhalten oft eine spezielle Lizenz, die die Verwendung im Buch regelt. Dabei ist es wichtig, die Druckauflage schriftlich festzuhalten: Ein Lizenzvertrag für 3.000 Bücher unterscheidet sich grundlegend von einem für eine Million Exemplare. Da das Buch kommerziell vertrieben wird, fallen die Bildrechte unter die kommerzielle Nutzung und sollten klar geregelt werden, beispielsweise in Bezug auf Erscheinungsjahr, Auflage, Sprache und weitere Parameter.

Book Publication Usage Rights**
*Photography for Authors in Berlin – Licensing Terms for Book Publications
For a book publication with a small or medium print run, it is important to clearly define the licensing terms. Below are key points that should be considered:
Scope of Licensing for Book Publications and Commercial Use: This agreement covers the reproduction of up to 10,000 copies and authorizes the commercial application of images.
Usability and Specifications: The license can be specifically defined for a particular edition and language. Each additional edition or new language version requires a separate agreement. However, with a business license, the photo can still be used for other purposes such as websites, social media, festivals, or small catalogs.
Licensing Agreements for International Publications and Advertising Campaigns: If your book is published in a larger print run and in multiple languages, it is important to include this information in the licensing agreements. Additionally, all forms of advertising, such as posters, ads, or other marketing materials, should also be specified. This ensures that the usage rights of the photos are clearly defined and that any additional uses, such as for international campaigns, are legally secured.
CopyrightAll photos must be properly attributed legally, whether in the imprint, on social media, or within the book.

Some tips before the photoshooting
Ironing: Iron your clothes before the session, if you can not and your clothes are very wrinkled, we can iron them here for an extra charge of 10 €.
Hairstyling: Prepare well for this day by either visiting a hairdresser or styling your hair at home. Bring whatever you need for touch-ups, tying, styling, etc.
