No I don't. I love making beautiful portrait photos but for ID photos you need a fixed light, a fixed background, a fixed posture, looking straight into the camera and smiling is forbidden. No, it's just not what I do. I send clients who need ID photos to the nearest photography here at Schuman or Merode.

My studio is in my living room. Yes, that's why have this very large and high living room, so I can put my studio lights where ever I want. And also so you feel at ease. A home studio often is cosy (and messy) so model feel much less tension for the shoot.  O yes, my studio is in Schaerbeek, near Plasky square. This is situated between the EU headquarters at Schuman Square and the Belgian VRT Tower. One of the most beautiful streets with Japanese Cherry blosems !

A great neighbourhood where can always park in front of our door (except on market day Friday) and very easy to get here by public transport or by foot from the subway stations Schuman or Merode.

My mother language is Dutch but here in Brussels I speak English and French most of the time. I can even help you in German when necessary.

Included with every picture I own the copyright and you have the usage right. You can use your images worldwide online and in print for as long as you like. I as the maker and owner of the pictures can only use them for my self-promotion on my website. If you don't want this, you can always talk about a total buy out of the copyrights.

Sorry, no can do. 

My normal turnover for a private photoshoot is one working week. After the shoot I need some time to get a mental distance from the shoot.This way t is easier for me to edit them in an objective way. From the say 80 pictures I shot only 30 or so will be selected. These thirty will all be edited, cropped and retouched for you. With these 5 working days you will get all 20-30 images delivered online. Depending on the deal you made, you can download that amount of images from the website. Extra images can be downloaded after payment on site. The gallery stays  accesible for a year.

That is a great question. I try do only light retouching after the shoot, so you look at your best.

I do use make up (matting powder) before the shoot so I have less retouching to do. Also my professional lighting helps me to do less retouching, but when I go over the images and see unwanted details, I will delete them.

This can imply the removal or reduction of:

• hard shadows
• nose reflections
• bold head reflections
• skin blemishes; e.g. pimples, moles, rosacea, red skin, scars or chapped lips
• distractions; e.g. glasses glare or hair flyaways
• wrinkles
• yellow or broken teeth

It can also imply improvements on your clothes, such as:

• removal of dandruff or hair 
• ironing of your shirt
• putting back in place a knot tie
• and so on.
