The photographer
Moayad Shilleh
Owner of Event Foto Jena UG
A good portrait shows more than a face. It shows a person.
Moayad Shilleh has worked as a professional photographer for more than ten years. He worked in Syria, Egypt and Turkey and has lived in Germany since 2015. In 2019 he took over the studio in the Holzmarktpassage in Jena.
For application photos he makes sure that strengths become visible. At weddings and family celebrations his feeling for the right moment, the right light and a calm background makes the difference. He edits every photo himself.
Iris photography joined the studio in 2022. Today it is a field of its own.

opened in Jena
Without a doubt, this is the best photography service I have experienced in Jena so far. The entire team is professional, friendly and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. What stood out most was their attention to detail and commitment to capturing the best possible shots. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for high quality photography and exceptional customer service.
The nicest application photos I have had taken so far. I am really happy and felt very comfortable in the studio. The team is very friendly and warm. Everything was professional and pleasant. I can only recommend it.
A huge thank you to Moayad Shilleh. I am usually very critical of photos of myself and hardly ever like them. But Moayad managed to bring out the very best in me and I am absolutely delighted with the result. I felt completely at ease in the studio and warmly recommend him to anyone who cares about first class application photos.
I am very happy with the shoot. The photographer took extremely professional application photos that even exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed. I would especially like to mention the friendly and attentive support during the whole appointment. A clear recommendation.
A really lovely photographer. Because of my eye muscle problems, having photos taken, especially passport photos, is very tiring. Here the atmosphere was patient and friendly and it mattered that I felt comfortable with my photo. It went very quickly and I am really happy.
This was the second time I had my application photos taken here and it was extremely pleasant. I can only recommend it, for passport photos as well. Great service, a pleasant atmosphere and excellent advice.
Great service and a very pleasant atmosphere. You notice immediately that experience and customer care come first here. Highly recommended.
Centrally located, very friendly, quick and top quality.
Very patient and skilled, real professionals.
We would be delighted about your review.
