Welcome to my blog, where I will give you an exclusive glimpse into my world as a photographer and filmmaker working all over the world. From bustling city life to remote nature reserves, my work takes me to the most diverse and breathtaking locations. But what actually goes into creating those diverse photographs and films? Let’s take a look at my process.
It all starts with an introductory meeting. Here I get a chance to hear the client’s vision and share my own ideas on how best to translate that vision into either film or photos. If we are both excited to work together, we discuss the technical aspects such as date, price, location and transportation. Once everything is agreed upon and established in a contract, the real preparation can start.
On the day before the shoot, I load up all my equipment, format my memory cards and select the right lenses for the job. When the big day arrives, I make sure I arrive at the location well ahead of time. One last check with the client to go over all the technical details, and then we can get started.
After a successful shoot, the process of post-production begins. For a film project, I consult with the client about music, color correction and the overall style of the film, so that I can start editing well prepared. For a photo shoot, I always send sample edits to the client so they can choose which style best suits their needs.
For video productions, the client eventually receives the finished film, while clients of photo shoots get access to an online gallery with their photos. Here they have the opportunity to request two free rounds of revision, if they are not completely satisfied. With photos, customers can order a photo book afterwards.
The photo book process is currently only available to customers in the Netherlands. Together we look at the cover photo and the customer is allowed to make a selection of the photos they would like to have in the album. Then the photo book is delivered to your home, a tangible reminder of an unforgettable experience.
This is just a glimpse of the process behind my work as a photographer and filmmaker. Each assignment brings new opportunities to bring creativity to life. I always look forward to working with my clients to create something unique for them to enjoy for a long time to come. Thanks for reading and hopefully see you at one of my shoots, anywhere in the world!
