PHOTOSHOOT FROM A TO Z

Now we are in touch and already have an idea of what you want and need. At this moment I will offer you a package via an offer and when we are set and signed your date is secured!

It's time to organise the ideas and shoot aesthetics. It's possible that you already worked on a moldboard yourself before and we will fine-tune it.

That's the crucial step for a successful photoshoot! Whether you have a specialist on board, with my help or by yourself, that's the deal breaker to have your wished pictures perfect.

prints
We are living in a digital era, but sometimes we still want to touch and connect to the pictures as in the old times.
From table blocks, and reveal boxes of portraits to albums I can design and order from the best handmade high-quality vendors.
​
mood board
The first step after our connection is to decide which package serves you the best and personalise it if needed.
Then we start working on the mood board. That's one of the most important steps of a successful photoshoot. It sets your expectations and helps me to align and guarantee you the best choices regarding your wishes.

On the left you can see an example of a mood board I prepared to start the planning of a shoot.
​
styling
Then comes another really important phase: styling. Styling is one of the most important elements as it sets the mood and gives the shoot. If your shoot is for professional purposes or lifestyle, day-by-day clothes can be combined to create the look you need.
I can give you some basic tips from my experience behind and in front of the cameras when it comes to colouring and matching.
But if you are looking for glam, couture, thematic, surreal or a special gown, I can help you to find your dream outfit and also lease with a stylist to bring it even to another level.
The options are to fix it yourself, there are several rental companies who send you dresses but I can also take care of that for you and bring it ready for the shoot.

location
​
​
The sessions can take place at my studio in the North of Amsterdam or at a location of your choice. I can fix the light no matter where we are so you can have the experience the way you dreamt about. I can also help with the scouting once I've been photographing in several places in the Netherlands and even abroad. If you'd like to have your pictures taken abroad is no problem. I have extensive experience in travelling and photographing in different countries.
