Not at all. Most people who come to my studio are not in front of a camera every day. I guide you calmly and help you with posture, expression and relaxing. You do not have to be able to do anything or know anything.
PLAY · Compact studio session · Wijchen / Nijmegen
Play
Mini shoot for theatre makers, songwriters and musicians
This is not a quick shoot. PLAY is a compact moment of attention.
€ 165
Including 21% VAT
As soon as your booking comes in, I will get in touch as quickly as I can.
You know the feeling.
You are making, rehearsing, writing, performing. Your head is full of ideas and plans, but also of practical questions. Where are you going to perform? How do you present yourself? Which photograph do you use on your website, with an application, in a press kit?
You know good photographs matter. Perhaps they are even essential. And still it keeps getting pushed back. Because the money is needed elsewhere. Because a photo shoot feels like a big thing. Or because you think it will come later.
People who are just starting out, and people in the middle of their development, need images that ring true. Images that show who you are, not only what you do. This studio session exists for exactly that stage. Affordably priced, with full attention.
In my studio in Wijchen I take the time. We do not start with a camera but with a coffee or a tea. A moment to land. A moment to talk. About what you make, where you are, what you need. No hurry, no pressure to perform. Only then do we start photographing. Calmly, with direction, and room to be yourself.
How it works
With PLAY you book a studio session in Wijchen. We take an hour and a half together. For you that means room to relax. For me it means attention and focus.
The photography itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes. In practice we take a little more time than that, including coffee, conversation and direction. I do not work to the clock, I work to feel.
After the shoot you receive a selection to choose your photographs from. The images you pick are carefully edited and delivered in high quality.
You get five professional photographs

Who this session is for
This session is meant for theatre makers, comedians, musicians and songwriters. For people who are on stage or who work behind the scenes but still need to be visible. For makers who want to be taken seriously without immediately stepping into an expensive process.
You do not need to know exactly what kind of image you are after. I will help you with that. The only thing you bring is yourself.
Why this session exists
Because I see how often makers put themselves last. Because the money goes to productions, to lessons, to instruments, to time. And because good photographs are exactly what can help you take a next step.
This session is meant as a first solid foundation. Images you can use for your website, social media, applications, posters or press material. Photographs you can put to work with confidence.
What this is not
This is not a conveyor belt. Not a quick profile picture. Not a standard setup where you are back outside after ten minutes. Nor is it an extensive half-day branding shoot.
PLAY is exactly what it should be. Compact, attentive and honest.
Practical
The sessions take place in my studio in Wijchen. I work in half days with a limited number of places, so that it stays calm and personal.
Frequently asked questions
I have little experience in front of a camera, is that a problem?
What should I wear?
Wear something you feel comfortable in that suits what you make. Neutral colours often work well, but the most important thing is that it feels right for you. Not sure? Bring two options and we will look together.
What can I use the photographs for?
The images are suitable for websites, social media, press material, applications, posters and programmes. You receive them in high quality and may use them freely for your own promotion.
How much time do we really take?
The photography itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes. In practice you are often in the studio a little longer, because we start with coffee and a conversation. I deliberately allow room so that no hurry creeps in.
I set aside an hour and a half for you either way.
Can I order extra photographs?
Yes, you can. Afterwards you can select extra images at a fixed price of € 10 per photograph. You are not committed to anything and there is no obligation to buy more.
When will I receive my photographs?
Within a few working days you receive a selection to choose your photographs from. The final edited images follow shortly after.
Is this session also suitable if I have been doing this for a while?
Certainly. Whether you are just starting or have been around a while, this session is about who you are as a maker now. Plenty of people use exactly this moment to refresh their images.
Where does the shoot take place?
In my studio in Wijchen.
