CORPORATE EVENTS
How do you usually work with clients?
We begin with a brief intake (via phone or email) to confirm the brief and logistics. I’ll ask:
• What kind of event is it, and where?
• Schedule and critical moments?
• Estimated headcount and room setups?
• Key people (VIPs, speakers, sponsors) not to miss?
• Usage goals (press, website, LinkedIn, sponsor packs, internal)?
• Do you need same‑day selects or is next‑day fine?
• Any restrictions (NDA, sensitive sessions, GDPR considerations)?
From there, I send a tailored quote and a clear shoot plan
How fast do you deliver the images?
For an 8-hour event, I deliver all edited images by 7:00 a.m. the next morning.
Need assets during the event? I can provide same-day selects via an on-site or remote editor (add-on).
Are the photos retouched?
Yes. Light retouching (including exposure, colour, clarity, and cropping) is included. Advanced Photoshop (object removal, complex skin work, signage fixes) is not included unless otherwise agreed upon in the initial quote.
Can you add our logo to the images?
Yes. Send a vector file (SVG/AI/EPS) or high‑res PNG in advance. I’ll apply it to the selected images as requested.
In what format will we receive the photos?
By default, you receive both web‑optimized and high‑resolution JPEGs.
Do you deliver RAW files?
No. RAWs are undeveloped and do not accurately represent my work. You receive professionally edited images ready for use.
Do you travel?
Yes: worldwide. Whether it’s Amsterdam or abroad, the look and quality stay consistent. Travel is quoted on a case‑by‑case basis.
How are the images delivered?
Via a private online gallery: easy to share and download, available for 1 year. For annual events, I can keep the archive for a longer period on request. I also maintain secure backups on my side during that period.
What does it cost?
Rates depend on scope, timing, and deliverables. A 40% deposit confirms the booking. You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote (including shoot time, deliverables, add-ons, and travel, if applicable). Additional time beyond the agreed schedule is billed at the pre‑agreed hourly rate.
Who do you typically work with?
Event managers, marketing teams, and agencies that produce conferences, summits, leadership events, trade shows, and offsites. They want images that capture the energy and outcomes, not just faces.
How can I get in touch?
Email me directly or use the contact form. We’ll schedule a 10–15 minute call to align on goals and logistics.
What is your cancellation policy for events or conferences?
Cancelling a confirmed booking requires at least 14 days’ notice.
– <14 days: 50% of the agreed total fee is charged.
– <72 hours: 100% of the agreed total fee is due. Rescheduling is possible, subject to availability. If the new date isn’t available, cancellation terms apply.
Do you work under NDAs and with sensitive content?
Yes. I regularly work under NDAs. I avoid photographing confidential screens and sensitive sessions when requested and can provide isolated storage for restricted sets.
How many images can we expect?
Volume depends on schedule, density, and access. I focus on useful, on‑brand images, not waste. If you require a minimum number of photos, please let me know and I’ll plan coverage accordingly.
What usage rights are included?
You receive a perpetual, non‑exclusive commercial licence for your company’s marketing, internal communications, PR, social, and website. Third‑party/sponsor usage can be added to the licence—just flag it so I can include it in the quote.
Do you handle GDPR/privacy considerations?
Yes. I’m GDPR‑aware. I can provide signage templates for photo consent at registration, avoid photographing name badges on request, and remove specific images if someone opts out post‑event.
Do you offer video? A second photographer?
Yes. I can bring a second photographer for parallel coverage and coordinate videography through trusted partners.
Can you deliver images live to our social team?
Yes. With the on‑site/remote editor add‑on, you’ll get live or hourly selects for stage announcements, LinkedIn, and sponsor posts.
PORTRAIT
How do I book a session?
Use the contact form. Please select your package and let me know what the images are for. I usually reply within an hour. We'll have a short call to align on goals and logistics. A 40% deposit secures your date.
Do you shoot on weekends?
Yes: seven days a week.
What is the Optional Privacy AddOn: "Don't Feature Me"?
By default, I own the copyright to all images I create. I may showcase select images from your shoot on my website, social media, proposals, and ads. This realworld work is what helps new clients find and trust me. If you prefer not to be featured anywhere, you can add the "Don't Feature Me" option. This does not change copyright (I still own the images) or your usage license; it only restricts my use of the photos.
Can we shoot outside of Amsterdam?
Yes. Depending on the requirements, I will tailor a quote upfront.
What if I'm camerashy?
Normal, and it's my speciality. I guide expression and posture, keep it relaxed, and work at your pace. Most clients leave saying, "That was fun."
Do you have a studio?
Yes. Historic mansion in the Nine Streets, with library, garden, roof terrace, and a fully equipped studio (professional lighting and backdrops).
What should I wear? How many outfits?
Your package lists outfit allowances; it is always a good idea to bring 1–2 extra options beyond the package requirements, just to have more choices.
Guidelines: solid colours over busy patterns; muted tones; everything clean and ironed; proper trousers and shoes (posture matters); V-neck or U-neck tops are acceptable. We'll review together before shooting.
Makeup and grooming?
Optional. An inhouse makeup artist is available for a natural, cameraready look (studio or daylight)—book in advance. For men, we handle shine control, flyaways, and lint checks; bring a comb and lip balm.
How do I select my final images?
You will receive a private online gallery, along with a brief tutorial on how to navigate it. Add favourites; I retouch and deliver within 1-3 business days. Please let me know if you're on a deadline so I can plan accordingly.
How much retouching is included?
Standard natural retouching on selected images: blemish/spot removal, light undereye, skin softening while keeping texture, flyaways, clothing wrinkles, subtle teeth brightening, light colour work/crop, background cleanup if needed. No hidden fees.
What if the weather is bad (outdoor sessions)?
We can reschedule, ideally within two weeks. Light rain or snow can look great; we'll decide together.
What if I’m late?
Message me immediately. I'll do my best, but your session may be shortened if others are booked after you. Noshows are nonrefundable.
Do you provide RAW files?
No. I deliver finished, retouched images that reflect my quality standards. Need a specific crop or format? I'll prepare it.
Cancellation & rescheduling
Cancel at least 72 hours in advance to avoid charges. Cancellations within 72 hours are charged the full session fee (studio time is reserved for you). Rescheduling within 24 hours is treated as a cancellation and requires a new booking.
Licensing & usage
You receive a perpetual, non-exclusive license for personal and standard business use across the web, LinkedIn, social media, PR, decks, and internal communications (non-resale). For paid ads, billboards, or large campaigns, request an extended license.
Delivery format & archiving
I deliver weboptimised files. Galleries are hosted for 90 days; redelivery is available on request.
Payment & VAT
Payment by bank transfer (card on request via an invoice). Prices exclude 21% VAT. Balance due on delivery.
Can you match our brand guidelines?
Yes, background tones, framing, crop ratios (LinkedIn, website, PR), and any colour accents are aligned before we shoot.
Onsite team headshots—how long per person?
Plan 5–8 minutes per person (basic) or 10–15 minutes (enhanced), plus a buffer. A CSV template for scheduling is available on request.
