I offer portrait and fashion photoshoots, each tailored to your vision.
Fashion PhotographyThese shoots are centered around creative direction and styling. Inspired by editorial fashion photography, these sessions are designed to create a visual world around you; it’s a complete transformation, rather than just taking your portrait.
For these shoots, I collaborate with a stylist or designer. Before the shoot, I'll develop a complete creative concept, including a personalised moodboard that outlines the styling, colour palette, atmosphere, and makeup direction. Every shoot is tailored specifically to you and your vision.
Most fashion shoots take place in my studio, but they can be held at almost any location. Please note that certain locations may involve additional rental or travel costs.
As with my portrait sessions, there is no exact time limit, allowing us to create the strongest possible result.
That said, a session generally lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours.
These shoots work well both for individuals who are looking for a high-end editorial shoot, and for brands looking for a strong and creative selection of work to showcase their products. For example: jewelry brands, fashion & footwear designers, beauty brands, etc. In this case, a model can be arranged as well.Fashion Photography:

Portrait Photography
Whether you're looking for high-end portraits, a maternity photoshoot, or professional images for your business or personal brand, all of these fall within my portrait package.The package includes a minimum of 20 beautifully edited images. Twenty is simply the starting point. If we've created more photographs that I'm proud of, I'll include those as well rather than leaving them on my hard drive.
Your session can take place indoors or outdoors. I have my own studio in Culemborg, the Netherlands, where we can work with professional studio lighting, or we can shoot on location using natural light. We can also combine both to create a unique look.

Simply send me an email at berendvdbrand@gmail.com and tell me what kind of photoshoot you're looking for.
From there, we'll schedule an online meeting to get to know each other and discuss your ideas, preferences, and vision for the shoot.
Once we've defined everything, we'll set a date for the shoot. I'll start working on the moodboard and concept, and then the final step is welcoming you to the studio! -
For me, photography is more than creating beautiful images. It's about creating a visual world that reflects who you are.
I approach every photoshoot with a strong sense of creative direction. Whether it's through styling, make-up, lighting, composition, or atmosphere, Creativity, artistry, and authenticity are my keywords. I love everything art and fashion related and have a preference for slightly dark, mysterious, avant-garde, and dramatic images.
Rather than just capturing your face with pretty lighting, I want every image to feel like art with a certain feel to it, instead of just a photo. Every shoot is thoughtfully tailored around each individual; no shoot is the same. Each shoot is uniquely crafted to create the visual world that best suits the model or product, resulting in images that feel stylish, creative, and artistic.
The best way to understand my approach is simply by looking at my portfolio. I believe the work speaks for itself.

You can expect your photos to be ready in 2 to 3 weeks. If you need a few photos right away for an announcement, for example, let me know, and I can make it work.

Not at all. Most of my clients have never been in front of a professional camera before. Throughout the shoot, I'll guide you with posing, movement, and expression, making sure you feel comfortable and confident.
-
Once you've booked your session, we'll discuss clothing, colours, and styling together. I'll help you choose outfits that suit both your personality and the creative direction of the shoot. We’ll discuss this during our online meeting.
-
After the photoshoot, I'll send you an invoice by email. Payment is due within 14 days, unless agreed otherwise. Once the invoice has been paid, you'll receive your edited images within the agreed delivery timeframe.

Most of all, I’m a creative, so I love bringing up ideas and trying out different things. Besides that, I’m a sensitive soul as well, and want to take my time to make the session as comfortable for you as possible.
At my studio, we’ll have a cup of tea together, some sweets, and first talk a little bit about your expectations to calm the nerves. From there, we’ll just have fun!
I’ll put up some of your favourite songs and help you with posing, keeping the energy up, and capturing you from your best side so you feel confident and beautiful.
I always aim to bring out that spark in you, through posing direction, creative direction, styling, and of course, photography.
It’ll be a day filled with creativity, fun, and the freedom to fully be yourself. A space where you can embrace every part of who you are, without holding back.My hope is that you leave the studio feeling inspired by the way you see yourself and confident in how you choose to present yourself to the world. My goal is to capture the version of you that feels empowered, authentic, and unapologetic in the way they present themselves. Someone ready to stop hiding and step fully into their power, through fashion, creativity, being bold & eccentric, and 100% true to themselves.
