Chantal de Graaff stands for magazine-worthy image
First of all, who is Chantal? This photographer works for female entrepreneurs who want to set themselves apart and have magazine-worthy images. Perfect for putting yourself and your company on the map. Chantal goes all 'on' about creating beautiful images that would fit right in a magazine. 'In addition, I love capturing what someone has put her heart and soul into, and thinking along with how we can put you, your company and your brand on the map in the best possible way. This combination makes me do a lot of branding and business shoots', said the creative.
Coming up with a good concept, preparing everything to perfection and then popping it on location: she likes nothing better than that. Her goal is to go for aesthetic and stylish images. Powerful portrait photography, but also personal and unique. Chantal: 'I then mix these with beautiful atmospheric images, including of any of my own products. My clients range from property developers to clothing line designers. And from marketing agencies to interior designers. Each entrepreneur has her own identity and vision, which makes every shoot truly different'.
Booking a branding shoot: here's how it works
When you book a branding shoot with Chantal, you will receive an E-book full of tips on how to prepare properly and together you will make sure that you will soon be able to shine in front of the camera! 'I often hear that it is exciting after all, such a photo shoot. Because yes: you are good at the work you do, but not a model. And you don't have to be! With my experience, I will help you through the whole process and make it as easy and fun as possible with the best results. We'll work out what the goal of the shoot is, what kind of images fit this, what we need for this and I'll also provide you with styling tips. Everything to make you and your company shine during the shoot'.
Chantal enjoys coming to the locations of Atelier Oost Amsterdam. They are her favourite shoots spots that really take your images to the next level. And yes: of course an extensive branding shoot in a beautiful location is an investment, but you will have everything super well organised. 'The location is spot on and offers a lot of variety options that also allow you to get more out of your images, so it reinforces each other enormously. I therefore really see shooting at a good location with space, diversity and good styling attributes as an essential added value and always get this back from my clients. My experience? If you do it: do it well. That will benefit you much more than several times half-baked'.
Tip: the shoot is of course deductible and your marketing will be completely on fleek after such a session. As a result, you'll recoup the investment in no time. But what many people forget is what a branding shoot in a beautiful location does to you.
