Photoshoots

I offer photoshoots for women, men, coulpes, or whaterver configuration you are our see yourself as. Please find below the different concepts I work in – but that does not mean I strictly limit myself to these concepts. Other ideas are welcome, as long as they can be aligned with my general style and esthetic.

General info about photoshoots

General info

Location

I focus on studio and outdoor shoots. Living in Belgium, the opportunities for the latter are not always that numerous. But it might work. For the former, I have my own studio (Herenthout) but specific locations, or even in the comfort at your own home is possible.

Duration and price

A photoshoot is usually about 2h of shooting, so assume the whole proces takes 2h30. This is plenty of time for 3-4 outfits / concepts / light setups, as well as upfront discussions on the type of pictures you’re after. If you don’t have a specific idea in mind, that’s okay. I have lots of ideas and concepts to work with.

Pack 1: €575 – VAT included. For this, you’ll get:

  • the 2h shoot / 2h30 for the whole proces
  • at least 12 pictures (more in case of an exceptional good result) free from watermark

This assumes a studio shoot, or an outdoor shoot les than 10km away from Herenthout

Pack 2: €700 – VAT included. For this, you’ll get:

  • a 3h shoot / 3h30 for the whole proces. Assume 5 – 6 outfits / concepts / light setups
  • at least 18 pictures (more in case of an exceptional good result) free from watermark

Pack 3: €850 – VAT included. For this, you’ll get:

  • a 5h shoot / 6h for the whole proces – breaks included. Assume 7 – 8 outfits / concepts / light setups
  • at least 25 pictures (more in case of an exceptional good result) free from watermark

Pack 4: €1.250 VAT included. For this, you’ll get:

  • a full day of my time (max 10h) in which we can do multiple locations, combine indoor and outdoor shoots, work on specific concepts, ideas and images. This is more of a ‘creative collaboration around pictures’ in which we can explore concepts and ideas.
  • Depending on how many sets we do, you can assume we’ll get 30 to 50 pictures, free from watermark.

Not included are:

  • travel costs
  • renting another studio / shoot location / …
  • other costs specific to the shoot

There is no fixed price for the non-included costs, this is all based on the case at hand.

General remarks

  • The pictures you get are the ones that I selected as the best ones. These are the ones you’ll get, and consider all other pictures ‘lost’. Trust me, I want to maximise the output for me as well.
  • You get the pictures in 4k resolution
  • Editting takes usually around 2 weeks, but this can vary. Discuss upfront if you need them faster.
  • Print are available. The choice for mat or glossy finish is determined by the picture, so I’ll pick the option that suits the image the best. Shipment costs apply.
    • 10x15cm – €10/piece
    • a4 format – €35/piece
    • a3+ format – €65/piece

Payment

When the shoot is confirmed, 40% of the total price is due, no later than 14 days prior to the shoot. The remaining 60% of the price is due on the moment of the shoot, before the actual shoot starts. Payments possible: wire transfer, cash, cards.

FAQ

Why would I want to book a shoot?

Well, there could be so many reasons!
– you want the experience of a shoot, to be in front of a camera. Maybe it is on your bucket list? You want to surprise your partner with a set of artistic pictures of you. Did you know a photoshoot is a perfect gift for a loved one? Maybe you want to show the world more of you, or do you want a special little experience, a memory just for you?

Do I have to be a (super)model to do a photoshoot? Do I need experience? It’s my first shoot, so…

Certainly not. In my work I look for reality. What is beauty anyway? For sure it only exists only in the eye of the beholder. If you have prior experience with photoshoots, it could help, but don’t take that for granted. If you have no experience whatsoever, I can definately guide you so we certainly get to interesting results. Relax, it’ll work out just fine. It’s supposed to be fun, not stressful!

How much do you edit the pictures?

Well, not a lot. I don’t use AI / AI tools, I do not apply filters or other modifications that will alter the model’s appearance. Generaly, I edit pictures like this:
– all things involving light: contrast, tones, color, …
– all things involving composition: horizon, cropping, …
With regards to the model, I might:
– retouch temporary blemishes (bruises, cuts, pimpels, …) but not permanent marks. The idea is that you are you, as you are. Your body is the result of every day before today, and we’re making images to have a ‘snapshot’. I will not alter your body shape or volume, I will not polish your skin, I will not alter your general appearance. Yes, I know, I go against the flow. I do edit out temporary blemishes because if the shoot would have happened a week sooner or later, they probably weren’t there.

What is the price for a shoot, and how does payment work? What do I get?

Well, it depends. Different packages are available – see info above

Are all the pictures monochrome?

Well, actually yes. Monochrome (black & white) is a specific style and esthetic, and it suits the general mood and themes of the shoots I do.

Give me reasons to book a shoot with you…

There are a million reasons why you would book a photoshoot.

There are a few reasons why you would want to book a shoot with me.
– you like the style and the general esthetic of my work
– you appreciate professionalism both in hard- and softskills

Do you only shoot woman?

No. Woman, men, couples, … ‘other configurations’ can book a shoot. However, I focus most on simplicity in my images, and more people as a subject create more complex pictures. Couples is still in the realm of possibilities of course.

Are there any limitations on what I can do with the results?

Almost none. You can print, publish, share (on social media?) the results, or keep everything just for yourself. All is permitted, except commercial exploitation of the results. Discuss upfront if you have a commercial intent with the results, we’ll work it out.

Practical details

What do I need to bring?

Depends on the kind of shoot – we’ll discuss upfront. But usually we can work with what you have and/or some studio attributes. My photography focusses on ‘simplicity’ so there won’t be too much ‘fuzz’.

What is available in the studio?

Of course, this only applies for a shoot in my studio (located in Herenthout). Other locations are different.
– bathroom with toilet and shower
– heated studio
– backdrops (black, white, walls, … )
– some props, furniture and attributes
– I do not provide studio clothing for shoots, but some fabric sheets etc can be used
– hot and cold drinks (water/coffee/tea) so if you want soda, bring something
– it is easy to park very close

Cancellation policy

If we have an appointmet for a shoot, 40% of the cost is due no later than 14 days before the shoot. This downpayment is refundable until 10 days before the shoot. If you cancel later, the amount is non-refundable, but is of course carried over to the new date of the shoot.
If you cancel less than 3 days before the shootm the full 100% is due. We can reschedule the shoot.

Can my partner join?

In general, yes. This your shoot, and you can have it your way. But the time is limited, so any factor that delays the natural progress is not an advantage. But in the end it is up to you. Make sure you’re able to fully focus on the shoot. This is your time to shine!

Contract

Given the type of photography it goes without saying that you have to be 18years or older. We sign a contract before the shoot in which you state to be at least 18 years of age, and are fully capable of making your own descisions. (That and some standard stipulations, nothing extrordinary here).

How do I get the images, and how long do you keep them?

You’ll get a download link to a password protected environment. I keep the images for 365 days after the link has been sent to you. You can download the images as often as you like in that year. After that period, I no longer keep the images, so I cannot provide them to you any more. (To be really clear: Make sure you backup your images in case your device fails!)

Art nude

Art is a subjective term, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s exactly why you can apply for an art nude shoot! We’ll work with body shapes, high contrasts and high- or lowkey shots. Simple setups that speak, provoke ideas, feelings and emotions in the viewer – with you as the main subject. A broad range from ‘conceptual’ to ‘tangible’, from ‘fine art’ to ‘brutalism’ is possible. What (mixture?) do you see yourself in?

My dirty wedding

You’re married or you’re about to be… Congratulations! You married years ago, but you can imagine jumping into those clothes again for an ‘interesting refreshment of your vows’?
I’m sure there are some nice pictures of the wedding, the party, … and you can’t wait to show them to your family and friends! But…
You also want some wedding pictures that you can’t show to family and friends. Spicy pictures. Naughty ones. Dirty ones… Or some to surprise your partner with. Do you see where this is going?
That is exactly what the ‘My Dirty Wedding’ concept is about. Many directions are possible, and there is not much I havn’t seen or done, so the chances of you shocking me with your ideas or fantasies are slim to none.

Some inspiration – but not limiting to:
– just a little bit spicy
– sexual activities – whatever you like / can think of
– BDSM / kink – from soft to hard
– spicy outdoor / in public shots
– boudoir – the wedding outfits to underwear or less
– art nude – stylish – high contrast – high- or lowkey shots wedding themed
– …
In any case, all ideas can be discussed upfront!
Send me a message!

Erotic / fetish art

Provocative but classy images are a celebration of your body. Using the right lighting makes all the difference. Let’s discuss what you have in mind, I’m sure we can make it work.

Brutalism

Dirty, direct, provocative, filthy… usually in a moody and obscure atmosphere.
