“I contacted Alex for a shoot of our management team…with a double assignment: shoot with a work background and shoot with a neutral background. 45 people passed the lens and the results were top… Alex succeeds in reaching people in a spontaneous and authentic way to feel at ease and that is reflected in the photos. Was super pleasant, correct agreements and perfect handling!!”

FAQ

How should we arrive for a photoshoot?

Come camera-ready, so we can dive right in. Wear clothes you feel comfortable in and that suit the image you're after, but steer clear of crazy patterns and logos - you want people to focus on your face, not your shirt.

Can we wear make-up?

Of course. If you do then come already made-up, as I don’t currently work with a make-up artist.  

New haircut?

Go for it. Best not to do it the same day as the shoot, though. Just in case.

Any tips for preparing for the shoot?

I want to show your personality in the photos, so have a think about who will see your headshot, what message you want the pictures to tell, whether you like the image your clients / colleagues / associates currently have of you...

I’m not photogenic!

Sure. ;-) I’ve heard that one before and, believe me, everyone is. How you see yourself is different to how others see you.

Image selection & delivery

Most people choose their favourite photos by the end of the session. I offer advice on small, but significant, differences you might not notice. When you’ve made your choice, I’ll fully retouch your favourites and send them to you soon after the shoot. And if you decide to add more later, that’s totally up to you.

Where are you based?

Herent, near Leuven, Belgium. But I shoot all over the place.

Shoots on-location?

Definitely! I work mostly on-location, so I bring my mobile studio to you, wherever you are. It’s convenient for you and it’s somewhere you’re probably already comfortable.

Do we get all the pictures from the shoot?

No - we’ll typically end up with over a hundred photos. I create a private online gallery for you, so you can look through all the unedited photos; then I fully edit the images you choose to buy and send you those in high resolution.

Will we enjoy the shoot?

I hope so! ;-) No-one has ever told me they didn’t enjoy it. Felt uncomfortable at first, yes; but by the end it all works out.

Can we suggest poses, locations…?

Of course. If you have your own ideas, I’m all ears! It’s great if we can work together to get to a result that you’re happy with.

Will you photoshop us?

I can get rid of the spot that reared its ugly head the morning of the shoot, any bits of food between your teeth, temporary blemishes. But generally I like to keep you looking pretty natural. You don’t want to look like an AI model, right?

Do we get full copyright/ownership of the photos?

This one can be confusing. You’re actually granted usage rights to use your photos to promote yourself and your business; you can use them for pretty much anything except an advertising campaign (that needs separate commercial terms). As the creator of the images, I keep ownership of the photos and copyright and can also use them for any purpose.
