FAQs
Waarom is deze website in het engels?
Het lukt de meeste Vlamingen meestal wel om Engels te verstaan, maar zelden verstaan anderstaligen Nederlands. Bij Boldstylephotography kan je terecht in het Nederlands, Frans, Engels en zelfs in het Duits.
I think I am not photogenic, should I even consider a photoshoot?
Absolutely yes. It’s a photographers job to make you look good. Giving little hints and directions for perfect poses is what photographers do and will result in amazing pictures. So the less photogenic you think you are, the more camera shy you are, the more you will benefit from a professional photoshoot.
I like your work, but I want my photos to be something else.
Yes Please! I love that. You see, as a photographer and a creative mind, I love doing new things. I am not a ‘one trick pony’ photographer who will repeat the same photoshoot over and over. That’s why my work might seem very inconsistent, but I call this variety. So, I you have something specific in mind, I love to hear from it and we’ll work out your concept.
What happens with my images after the shoot?
We are living in the digital era, so what about digital copies of my pictures. All that is put in a photography contract between boldstylephotography and the client.
Long story short - I’ll usually keep a backup of your pictures for about 2 years, stored safely in the cloud. This allows you to get a backup if you should ever lose your digital portfolio. After that time, they will get erased because I can’t keep all those giga amounts of data.
You photos are yours only and will never be used for any other purpose. Just like doctors and lawyers, photographers are tight to confidentiality. Besides, all terms are put in a official contract.
Professional photos are fake. I prefere real looking photos!
If I got a dollar for everytime I heard this one, I’d be rich by now:) So, NO! It’s Instagram filters that look fake. Professional photography is as real as it gets. If you want ‘real’ - you can book a ‘Boldstyle Pure’ shoot. Pure amazing pictures by making use of amazing light. No photoshop editing, no gimmicks, nothing but the pure truth. If you want pure, our Boldstyle Pure shoot is what you need. And if people think it looks to good to be true, that’s because a real photographer knows how to work with light, textures and dimension. Only by the use of light and poses will create the very best of you, making you look amazing without changing a thing! Authenticity 100%
Your photoshoots are too expensive
You kidding me, right? Let me break it down for you. Now, doing a photoshoot from start to finish goes like this: driving up there, setting up all the gear, shooting for a few hours, going back home and then spending a few hours more on editing and making your amazing portfolio. 1 photoshoot is roughly about 10 hours of work (Let’s say the boudoir@home shoot). Charging 399,- for it makes me earn just under 40€/hour. Not exactly a millionaire’s lifestyle, right?. Would you work for less than 40€/hour? Perhaps you might conclude my shoots are way too cheap for the quality you’ll get :)
Can I use my own pictures for professional use or advertisement?
Yes you can. My photoshoots are based upon a contract. When I deliver your digital portfolio, those photos become yours and you own all the rights to them. This means you can do whatever you want with them.
I am thinking about a doing a photoshoot, but I never did. What to expect?
Great! I want to make sure it will be everything you hoped for. Therefor we’ll talk about what you expect. What style of pictures you have in mind? What pictures you like? During the shoot we keep that expectation in mind. We see how we can make a unique shoot that answers to your needs, but also taking into account what we can do with the locations and what poses fit you best. It’s all very spontaneous and relax. You’ll see!
Your photoshoots are too expensive (part 2)
Some photographers are a lot cheaper! Yes, some are. Some are hobby photographers trying to make a little extra. But I play in another league and what I offer is just different. Hey, you can eat McDonalds or go to a fancy restaurant. You can drive a Mercedes or a old Toyota. You can buy that Louis Vuitton bag or one in your local supermarket. It will all work fine, but it’s just not the same.
