Portrait photographer in St. Wolfgang

A portrait photographer in St. Wolfgang is a photographer who takes individual portraits — a new headshot, pictures for your own business or simply portraits you like — in and around this village on the Wolfgangsee. The historic centre is small and dense, which is an advantage: within a few minutes’ walk you have plain plastered walls for a clean headshot, the Wolfgang fountain beside the church, timber doorways in the lanes, and the open lake as a soft, out-of-focus background. You can change the look of a set three or four times without moving the car.

Light is what decides the timing. The village faces south across the water, so in the middle of the day faces are lit hard and from above; the better hours are the morning and the last part of the afternoon. Around the equinoxes the sun sets at about 18.20, which makes a 17.00 start ideal in March and in mid-October. A portrait session typically lasts 45 to 90 minutes, includes two or three outfit changes and delivers a selection of retouched images in the formats you need, from a square profile picture to a wide website banner.
