Portrait Day - Pieter van Engeland

Through the form, you book a time slot, which you will receive a confirmation from via email and/or WhatsApp. Then, you come to my studio in Eindhoven at the agreed-upon time. After a brief introduction, we will take a series of photos, and together we will review them on the computer. From there, we will select 3 portrait photos. After editing, you will receive them in high resolution, perfectly tailored for platforms like LinkedIn.

The easiest way is to select a date using the form to schedule an appointment. This way, I reserve a time slot for you, you can also contact us via WhatsApp to make a reservation.

There won't be a separate makeup artist present during the shoot, but the location has a mirror to do a touch-up if you bring your own products.

After confirmation of your reservation. you will receive a payment request. If you prefer to pay in cash, please let us know by replying to the message.

It's always advised wearing calm, solid-colored clothing. It's best to avoid small stripes (Moiré pattern) and avoid wearing the same exact color as the background. For example, if you wear the same color as the background (e.g., a white shirt without a jacket against a white background), your head will appear to be floating, which is not very flattering. Therefore, it's better to wear a darker color or a jacket.

The above web tool is very handy for matching colors. First, choose the color of the background you prefer; the tool helps you match your clothing color. You can choose from:
Complementary, colors that enhance each other when used together.
Monochromatic, color on color (often a bit more difficult, a little more contrast is often better with this).
Analogous, colors that are adjacent on the color wheel and have some similarity in tone.
Triadic, three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel.
Tetradic, four colors arranged in pairs, with each pair being complementary.
Also, it always works well in combination with black, gray, and white. (The more colors, the harder it is to match; my tip: keep it simple)

There isn't enough time for outfit changes in the 15 minutes session. so, you should wear the clothing you want to be photographed in. In case you would like to change the outfit, then 2 sessions of 15 minutes should be booked. there is some time available for outfit changes, but we still recommend keeping it simple. For example, you can start with a tie and jacket, then remove the tie, and finally take a photo without the jacket.

15 minutes per timeslot. You have the flexibility to book two timeslots for your photography session. This offers approximately 30 minutes of photography time. This way, you can customize your outfits and backgrounds based on your preferences.

There isn't enough time for light changes etc. in the 15 minutes session. The lighting will be as in the examples above. However I do like to get creative! Please contact me and I will help you
