FAQ: Common Questions About Hamburg Headshots
Pricing, Process & Delivery — Everything You Need to Know
Straight answers to the most common questions. If something's missing, just write me.
Why a flat rate instead of charging per photo?
Most headshot sessions include a handful of images in the base price, then charge for each additional photo. Building a full set that way can add up quickly. I prefer a simpler approach: €500 covers the entire session and 15–25 final images. You get everything you need, without counting per look. No upsells, no surprises.
How many photos will I receive?
A minimum of 12 professionally edited high-resolution images. Typically, clients receive 15–25 final images. Plus one 40×50cm fine-art print of your strongest image, made in-studio.
When do I receive the final images?
You'll receive a link to your private online proof gallery within 24 hours of your session. Browse, pick your favorites, and submit your selection. Final edited images arrive within 5 working days. Got a deadline? Let me know and I will do everything possible to deliver on time.
Can I order additional prints?
The included print is for your strongest image. If you'd like additional prints from your session, I can make those separately on request. All are fine-art prints, made in-studio.
Do I need to be an actor or performer to book?
Not at all. My work is built around actors and performers, but the approach works for anyone who wants a portrait with depth and character.
What should I wear?
Outfits are unlimited, but usually 3–5 outfits will do. Bring as many different options as you like and we will decide together what works best for you. There is space in the studio for you to change and do your hair and makeup before we start or during the session.
Can I use the photos for my portfolio or social media?
Absolutely. Full license for professional and personal use — casting portfolios, social media, whatever you need. I may feature your images in my portfolio too, unless you'd prefer I don't. Just let me know.
Is there a discount for students?
Yes — there's a 15% discount for students. Simply select the student discount option when you book your date.
Where is the studio located?
It's a 5-minute walk from Hoheluftbrücke station. I'll send the exact address and transport details once you book.
What makes your sessions different from a standard headshot session?
I only book one session per day. That means no rushing you through five looks in an hour. We take our time. I pay attention to who you are, and I help your presence come through.
Do you speak German?
I speak English and Dutch fluently, and German conversationally. All contracts and communications are available in both English and German to ensure everything is clear.
Can I bring someone along?
I keep sessions one-on-one to maintain focus and intimacy — it makes a real difference in the final images. But if you need someone with you, just ask beforehand and we'll make it work.
