Who is this service for //
I work with brand managers, marketing teams and entrepreneurs to create visuals for:
Product launches and campaigns
Advertisements (social media and display)
Rebranding and new brand identities
Websites and landing pages
Press and publications
Your brand needs visuals that achieves a specific purpose: to sell, to launch, to persuade, to stand out from the crowd. As a branding photographer in Amsterdam, I create that imagery: from concept to campaign.
Photography created to serve a specific purpose: on your website, in an advert, on a shelf, in a pitch deck. Every image is lit, staged and composed with its intended destination in mind.
From concept to campaign //
What does the campaign aim to achieve? Who does the imagery need to convince? Where will it be used? Social media, adverts, packaging, the website? Based on this, we’ll develop the concept together: mood board, location, styling, and which shots are absolutely essential.
On the day of the shoot, the focus is on what the campaign requires: the product in context, atmospheric shots that convey the brand’s image, and detail shots that showcase craftsmanship or finish. Whatever fits the narrative.
No fixed package price upfront, but a clear plan: after the initial consultation, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting, how much time it will take and what the investment will be.
Q&A
How does the licence to use the images work?
"You will be licensed according to how you intend to use the images. The key factors are the duration, the channels (social media, print, out-of-home, paid advertising), the territory and whether the licence needs to be exclusive. Website, social media, internal communications and press coverage are included as standard. If you plan to advertise more widely or for a longer period, we’ll tailor the licence accordingly, so you don’t pay for rights you won’t use and don’t run short of rights once the campaign goes live. A full buyout is possible, but this is different from a usage licence and is quoted separately."
Do you work according to our own shot list and brand guidelines?
"This is usually the case. But I’m more than happy to help with the concept and shot list if needed."
How much does a brand campaign shoot cost?
"These are tailor-made services, so I don’t work with a fixed rate or package price. The duration of the shoot and the complexity of the post-production vary greatly depending on the concept. After a brief discussion about your plans, I’ll draw up a clear quote."
Do you work exclusively from Amsterdam?
"No, I generally work in Amsterdam, but I also work with clients throughout the Netherlands (including Rotterdam and The Hague) and internationally."
Do you use model release forms for people who appear in your photographs?
"Absolutely! And it’s a very sensible thing to do, even if you want to work with a colleague, friend or family member. Setting out the arrangements in advance can save you a lot of hassle later on."
