First and foremost: If you have not seen a sample of images, please first check the PORTFOLIO.

I am a full time professional photographer mostly shooting runway/catwalk at the big shows around the world (Paris/Milan/New York/Amsterdam etc….). I also do work with model agencies to scout new models, coach them, help them with fresh portfolio pictures and so on.

The other side of the work is specific assignments from anyone in need of high end photography to develop their brand or image. (commercial/advertisement/corporate …)
I’m often asked if I would agree to provide photoshoots for everyone and said why not ? Time is limited, I do believe it is a good thing to expand horizons and support anyone requiring a shoot !

Who can enroll ?

Everyone ! There is no judgement or criteria to book a photoshoot with us. You can be short or not, slim or curvy – it does not matter to me. I want you to feel good about yourself.
My clients are people that never had a photoshoot, or corporate employees and executives, artists (singers/DJ’s etc…), aspiring models, confirmed models in agencies.
Note, I also work directly with model agencies and can be booked by the day to execute test shoots, I shoot frontstage and backstage of fashion shows, and create lookbooks for creators/designers/stylists. Please contact me for further details or any idea/question you may have.
We can manage Dutch, so don’t worry if your English is not very good.

Options:

Choose one the available packages, but do not hesitate to contact me if none of them suit you or if you have special wishes. We can discuss your specific needs and do not hesitate to contact me to discuss those.

Rental & Equipment:

The studio is located in Amsterdam, it is a high end professional photo studio and not a studio at home. I do have a full range of the best cameras and studio lighting equipment available to date. All packages can also be produced on location (beach, your house etc…) but some travel costs will be charged. The studio is also for rent (with or without equipment) to other photographers or anyone in need of a professional space in Amsterdam (casting agencies, model agencies, designers, makeup artists and hair stylists)

What to bring ?

  • Several different outfits covering a variety of looks. We can help you choose which ones to use for the shoot. Think about themes: professional, glamour, sporty, trendy, etc.
  • Accessories to dress up your look.
  • If you’ve arranged with us for a hair and makeup artist, show up with clean hair and no makeup on. If you are doing your own hair and makeup, please arrive with your styling already done. You can bring hair products and makeup to do touchups and adjustments here if you wish.
  • If the photos are going to be partially nude (bikini, lingerie), arrive at the studio in loose clothing. Do not wear bras or underwear that will leave pressure marks on your skin.
  • Bring some music that you like to listen to. It’s not mandatory, but it’s fun!
  • a friend, or a parent (mandatory for minors). Anyone is welcome as long as they do not disturb or delay the photoshoot. Note, by law it is not allowed to smoke or bring pets in the studio.

Tea, Coffee and water are available at no charge. Catering can be arranged for long photo sessions.

What will you get ?

  • All the pictures will be yours, and you will receive them in high resolution suitable for print. We will also resize them all for web use.
  • Your selection of the best pictures will be photoshopped (number depends on the options you choose, but additional pictures can be photoshopped as required)
  • Advice and training. I will help you with the poses and expressions. Of course some of you won’t need it.
  • Fun ! I will ensure the environment for the shoot is pleasant, relaxed. You will have a good time and leave with a great feeling about yourself.
  • Exposure ! I work with model agencies and actually are scouts for several of them. There is absolutely no garantie you will be spotted, but who knows !

Why me ? There is cheaper out there !

Hopefully my PORTFOLIO is a testimony of what I can achieve. Many customers tried TFP (free shoots with amateurs/semi pro) and left disappointed. The equipment was not up to the required level, they felt unguided and the images are sometimes ok but often unsatisfying.
Time is critical, and you will not waste yours going to a high end studio like mine. The results will impress you, and I hear so often models that admit they should have invested earlier.
My rates are probably higher than what you can see sometimes on hyves or other websites where a lot of amateur photographers try to get a side job. The reason is that I spend all my time to build the best portfolios ever, it’s my life and not a hobby ! I also invest in the latest equipment available to bring you the highest resolution pictures, the best quality of light, the possibility to see the pictures during the shoot and adjust as required and so forth. But working with me also opens you to a large network of professionals (scouts, model agencies, designers, advertisement companies, PR agencies) who are monitoring my work all the time !
Bottom line, it’s a reflection about who you are – as L’Oreal says : “ ….. because YOU are worth it”
I believe spending money for a photoshoot is an investment. Remember, pictures last forever.
