From wedding photography to Leandra Weber business photographer
When I began my journey into the world of photography, the path ahead of me was anything but mapped out. Even though I originally studied something completely different, my two grandfathers inspired me early on as a photographer and cameraman. Perhaps that's where my passion for the art of visual storytelling comes from. From the very beginning, I realised that my photography would be more than just pictures; it should speak its own language, evoke emotions and capture the uniqueness of each moment. Here I would like to share my very personal perspective on photography and tell you how I went from studying business psychology to becoming a Leandra Weber Business Photographer.
What makes my photography unique
Even though I came into contact with photography at an early age through my family, I decided to study business administration with a focus on business psychology after graduating from high school. Although I wanted to start my own business as a photographer back then, I listened too much to the critical voices around me who told me that this plan would not guarantee success. As a result, I often received very little support. Perhaps this is exactly where the uniqueness that shows itself in my work in many different ways comes from. This starting point outside the typical school of photography gives my work a fresh perspective through creative approaches, which often produces special results.
The diversity is of course also due to my local flexibility, which I have worked hard to achieve over many years. In recent years, I have created a second foothold for myself in my absolute favourite place - Mallorca. By constantly commuting between Mallorca and Germany, I can fulfil a wide range of customer needs and at the same time pursue my own artistic vision.
Today, I specialise in business photography and branding in particular. Through years of experience, I have developed a sound understanding of the needs of companies and brands. This helps me to find customised visual solutions that effectively convey the identity and message of my clients.
New projects
A new project that combines the elements of photography with the world of user-generated content (UGC) and modelling has kept me particularly busy over the last few months. My aim is to combine these points to create a unique platform where brands can interact with models and influencers to create authentic and engaging content.
A big part of my work is my preference for natural light. I use natural light almost exclusively in my photography. My opinion: Natural light provides the most authentic and atmospheric results. Some of my clients wonder why I don't use lamps or flashes, but in my opinion no artificial light can replace the beauty of natural light. However, if necessary or on special request, I still have this equipment to hand.
One of my favourite techniques is to photograph against the sun and use the reflections of the sunlight to illuminate my model's face in an indirect, natural way. This approach often gives images a very special atmosphere and a lively energy. Mallorca, with its golden light in the often clear evening hours, is definitely the perfect spot for this all year round.

More about business photography
From wedding photographer to branding photographer to my personal brand Leandra Weber Business Photographer, I've done pretty much everything in photography along the way. As I'm anything but lazy about travelling and have a great drone pilot at my side in my husband Erik, it always comes back to Drone footage and landscapes. Especially in Namibia I also found it extremely exciting to photograph animals. That alone gives you an indication of what my photography is all about - character.
Because that's exactly why I love photographing people so much. Capturing facial expressions and personalities in an image as skilfully as possible is the first step; putting this image in the right context is the next. In business and branding photography, this context is often that of a certain marketing effect. This is exactly what I enjoy so much: photographing people in such a way that the message of their brand or personality is communicated to the target group through a simple image.
This is how my own brand Leandra Weber Business Photographer came about: years of work, years of trial and error, a lot of failure and, above all, perseverance. Was it worth it? Absolutely!
