Just be yourself, that’s what I want most from you when you’re in front of my lens. Whether during a family shoot, portrait shoot or personal branding shoot. Not a stiff and stately portrait, but a photo where you could really be yourself. You are perfect the way you are!
As a photographer, I am not looking for the perfect Instagram picture, but for YOUR picture. What do you want? Not a stiff photo or some photo in which you don’t recognize yourself. That’s why we go to your favorite place. In your favorite outfit, where the wind blows through your hair and you can no longer stand up straight from laughing so loudly. A picture of which your friends will say “ha, that’s so you!”
How can we make the photo really “you”? By making every choice by you. Location, clothing, your attitude, we choose what makes you feel comfortable. You don’t like to sit still? Then we don’t put you in the picture sitting down, but dancing or skipping, whatever suits you.
Making you feel comfortable and make you laugh is my biggest challenge. But also one of my most favourite things to do!
Do you get a bit nervous about having your picture taken? I make the photo shoot fun and relaxed. I am a photographer who keeps talking to you. I continuously distract you with questions and good conversation. Everything to get you loose, forget the camera and provoke real laughter. This way you are really yourself on the photo, unposed and spontaneous.
Are you coming with your family? Then I make sure that the photo shoot is a fun outing. For younger children I have games and with teenagers and adults enough questions so that you can have fun together for an hour and also get to know each other better.
“You are you.
Now, isn’t that pleasant?”
