Sparring partner for photographers

Are you ambitious and driven, and in need of structuring your thoughts and plans?

Then I can help you further. Not by sitting at the table and waiting for something to come up, but by actively photographing together and exchanging views on your path in photography.

One-off or in a trajectory

"I want to try that once, but not commit to anything." Of course, I understand what you are saying. I myself have been around the table several times with slick salespeople looking for a buyer lock-in, as it is nicely called. One of those subscriptions you never get rid of. I don't really like administration (that's what I have an accountant for) or follow-up calls (I don't like doing that anyway), so I prefer to use a different approach.

Sparring?

Based on your concrete help request, we will spar for an hour and a half. An hour is usually just too short. Of course, I immediately put all my experiences on the table and together we fire on your plans. Or funnel those into a concrete follow-up action. And if that helps you completely, we'll follow each other's path on social media and we'll probably have another cup of coffee or tea somewhere, but otherwise you go to work yourself.

Cost: €250 for one and a half hours excluding VAT

Another date?

Should you feel the need for a follow-up meeting after our conversation, we will of course schedule it immediately. We agree on your interim goals together and you decide realistically what your homework will be. If you have any questions in between, you have my phone number.

In follow-up sessions, we monitor the progress of your plans and hit interim picks. Celebrating small successes will keep you motivated to eventually get where you want to be!

Cost follow-up sessions (max 5): 225 euros per hour and a half excluding VAT

To keep the process manageable and force you to work on the insights you gain during our conversations yourself, I schedule a maximum of 5 follow-up interviews per person.

Location

We meet in an informal setting, in the streets of Nijmegen. We might drink coffee in my local pub De Blonde Pater (also starting point of the walk, should the weather not permit a walk. The idea behind the walk is 1) outside you think more clearly 2) walking is healthy 3) by walking side by side, never one sits at the table with the other. There is more balance and equilibrium in the conversation.

Incidentally, I will also be happy to come to you, should you be tight on time. But then charge travel expenses of 50 cents per kilometre.

Michiel, I want to talk to you.

Let's make an appointment right away. After payment, I will contact you as soon as possible and we will get started. I guarantee food for thought, yet more space in your head!

Very happy to see you soon!
