Step 0 - Who is qualified for shoots?

The answer is: EVERYONE

Depending on your experience and preferences, the shoot can be on TFP basis (no shoot fees) or a paid one. You will immediately find out which applies to you after Step 1.

Step 1 - Initial contact

You can contact me either:

• Via instagram: @thereforeluke
• Or via email: thereforeluke@gmail.com

If you contact me via email, make sure to include your instagram profile or another page where I can see that you are a real person and not a spambot :)

Step 2 - Chat about ideas

Next we will try to find some ideas together.

• You can send me some ideas (could be a pinterest board, saved posts on instagram, your vision board, etc.)
• You can pick photos you like on my instagram feed or here on my website and I can generate moodboards for you
• I can send you the ideas I'm currently interested in shooting
• If you are feeling creative, we can just discuss the outfits and improvise based on the light and the mood of the day.

Examples:

For me, every shoot is a collaboration. So it is important for you to let me know about your interests, your visual taste and things you are comfortable/not comfortable with.

I will not enforce my ideas on someone who is not interested in or not comfortable with them. Similarly, I will bring my visual style on the ideas we agree on, so they will not look exactly like the example images.

Step 3 - Scheduling & location

At this stage, hopefully we both have an idea about what we will shoot. Now it's time to find a location and a date.

Location:

• My home studio is always available (Amsterdam). Lots of daylight, multiple artificial lighting options and multiple decors for different styles. There is also lots of green & water around for outdoor shoots.
• You can choose a location yourself. It could be your own home, or somewhere cool you know.
• We can rent a location. This will require further discussion as it involves extra costs.

Scheduling:

• Please refer to your calendar and provide at least two dates when you are available for our appointment.
• I appreciate your attention to any other commitments that might impact your availability. It is advisable to confirm dates only if you are certain of your ability to attend.
• During our initial discussion in Step 1, we will discuss the cancellation and rescheduling policy. Your understanding in this matter is highly valued.

Step 4 - Time to shoot!

We made it! We will create some magical images together. You will receive the results within reasonable time as we will discuss.

Sounds good?

If everything sounds good, feel free to contact me whenever you want.

Do you still have questions or some doubts? Let me know and I will do my best to address them.

Take care and hope to see you soon!
