GerdauGrafie

As a family photographer based in Leichlingen, I focus on capturing authentic relationships and small everyday moments in expressive images. I'm Martin Gerdau of GerdauGrafie — a passionate photographer who values natural composition, calm on set, and an easy-going atmosphere. Whether it's family portraits, children's photography, baby and newborn sessions, or memories from baptisms, communions and birthday parties, my aim is to tell your story honestly and warmly. My approach is personal and straightforward. Before the shoot we briefly discuss your wishes: locations, clothing and the style you prefer. During the session I create a relaxed environment, offer gentle direction when helpful, and mainly document the spontaneous, real moments. I shoot with Sony mirrorless cameras and carefully edit images in Adobe Lightroom, always preserving a natural look. I avoid heavy beauty retouching — your photos should feel real and keep their emotional value. Delivery is convenient: you will receive the images I selected and developed via a password-protected online gallery for viewing and download. If you like, I can advise on image selection or usage — for photo books, prints or digital invitations. I work as a small-business photographer with a lot of heart and welcome bookings in and around Leichlingen. My experience in both family and wedding photography sharpens my sense for moods and human interaction: the result are timeless family photos that give space to both small gestures and big emotions. If you want natural, heartfelt family images, get in touch — I look forward to capturing your memories with calm professionalism.
