ABOUT ME
My name is Peter, and I own a photo studio in Bussum. I use my creativity and graphic design degree to capture everything that deserves extra attention, as I see it. Since 2017, landscapes and macro photography have been my primary subjects. In the summer of 2024, I decided that Dutch nature (besides macro) wasn't appealing enough for me, so I started focusing on capturing women's curves, as they've always held my deepest interest. Now I also offer portrait sessions. Respect and the safety of the model are my top priorities!

What about clothing?

We discuss clothing days before the shoot online. You can lay items on your bed to show me. An artnude shoot also needs some items for that little extra. People will remember that photo more. Items must be suitable for a photoshoot like NO prints/logo's or with NO busy paterns. The colours must match the vibe and my backdrops. 
Tips for models : sort your cloting days before the shoot! No ordinaire ones and jeans are possible sometimes (ask me).

Do I need experience in modelling?

I'm not gonna lie. It come in handy to know the basics like where hands go, how to turn your body, turn towards the light etc. BUT, I'll guide you along the way in a relaxt manner. A quick learner is welcome. You can always look at Youtube video's for reverence. There are a lot of them about posing. Try before a mirrow to practice helps!

What do you know about making a good image?

I had an education to become a grafic designer and earned a diploma in 2002. Before that period I draw a lot such as comics and (creepy) fantasy figures on everything I can draw on like schoolbooks en tables. Now I don't draw anymore since I finished school. I picked up a camera in 2017 and became creative again.

Do you have backdrops?

Yes as right now I have 5 roles of coloured paper (white, black, yellow sandmint green), 3 sheets and wallpaper (black-grey)+red woodlook. I add of get rid of backdrops ones in a while for some variation. There are two on the way to my studio: red and petrol. 

Do you travel for shoots?

Not that far. The area I will do homeshoots/outsideshoots is "middle Netherlands". From the coast to Arnhem - Purmerend to Den Bosch. At the moment I don't ask travelscosts but in a later stadium I will traver futher and ask for compensation. 

What about pay?

You pay me directly (cash or online banking) after the shoots end. At the moment it's just 50 euro for how long it takes for me to be done (2-3 hours max). This amount will get higher in a few months is my prodiction.

Do you work save?

Yes, I do not without permission touch you to help you with a pose or to fix clothing. Nor will I harass you in any way. You can always say no to suggestions I make! There (studio or homeshoot) will be music playing for a relaxt time. And I will annouce a fix I need to make for a better shot. In my studio is a space to change clothes if you like that. I will not stare at you during the shoot, that would be awkward.

Can I bring a friend?

Yeas you can! Everything is an option for you to be more at ease. So bring a friend, familymember or mua. Only one due to my small studio. Otherwise I have no space to move.

Communication?

I communicatie in Dutch and English. Mostly via Instagram but Whatsapp is fine too. Via email is also possible but they have to be complete, so no endless conversation. I like to have a phone call if the shoot is more than a hour drive away. Just to be sure I'm not travelling when there is no model to shoot.

How do you work?

I always chat a bit before the shoot so we get used to each other, and after the shoot I'd like to know how you liked it. I'll make jokes to relax the model. I don't talk your ears of or move fast to scare you. I like to smile and make fun. If it's possible I'll play music.
