There are a lot of photogenic spots located in city centre where you can take breathtaking pictures of Amsterdam’s architecture, from hidden streets, beautiful bridges and docks with views of the majestic 17th century Dutch canal houses.
Here is a short list with some of the best photo spots in Amsterdam that you can use for your photoshoot:
You can choose your favourite Amsterdam canal for your photographs, such as Brouwersgracht, Prinsengracht, Herengracht, or Singel canal.
Magere Brug, also known as Skinny Bridge or Love Lock Bridge, is the most famous bridge in the Dutch capital. Another nearby location to visit for more photos with a Parisian vibe can be found at the Blauwbrug and the docks at Amstel river.
We have a partnership with private boat providers so that you can enjoy a canal cruise while having your photo session. There is a high demand for romantic boat photoshoots for couples, proposals, engagements, and weddings. By photographing from a canal cruise, you can obtain different perspectives than if you were taking pictures from the street.
We highly recommend visiting the Red Light District at night. If you are wondering, it is unfortunately not possible to take photos in this street in Amsterdam. Keeping the sex workers’ privacy is important, but we can offer a stunning night photography experience where you can capture the city lights, Amsterdam night life and have cool photographs with red neon lights.
It is also possible to shoot at the iconic Dam Square, Central Station, or at the famous Bloemenmarkt, however these locations are always crowded, we will be glad to suggest the best spots and times for you to shoot.
The Begijnhof and NDSM Wharf are other great photo locations that we can choose to visit for your shoot.
During winter season, there’s a cute street called the Nine Streets in Amsterdam, where you can get pictures with Christmas lights at night.
Outdoor locations in Amsterdam are better for photos. However, you can also take some photos in a coffee place or terrace, there is nothing more fancy than enjoying a glass of wine next to a beautiful canal or a coffee. Inside your Client Portal you will find a booklet with indoor locations where we can shoot, such as coffee shops, hotels rooftops, etc.
It is always a great idea to bring flowers, especially tulips! In the Netherlands, these are iconic and make stunning accessories for photos. You can also use a hat, jewellery, scarf, foulard, Amsterdam map, or vintage camera as props.
67,5€ for each additional 30 minutes of shooting (excl. VAT).
135€ for each additional 1 hour of shooting (excl. VAT).
On weekends, I rarely photograph so that I have a good work-life balance, can reset, and of course, give my best on each shoot and project. If you are unable to make it during the week, I am happy to shoot on the weekend.
Occasionally, I am requested to photograph events, commercial shoots, or for clients not available during the week. Generally, I am available on Saturdays or Sundays when it is convenient for the client, but I recommend shooting early in the morning because depending on the location, there may be more people around.
The “Weekend Fee” will be calculated automatically on the website if you select a Saturday or Sunday shooting. Each hour of shooting included in your package will be charged an additional 50% fee:
32,5€ for each additional 30 minutes of shooting (excl. VAT).
67,5€ for each additional 1 hour of shooting (excl. VAT).
18€ each (excl. VAT) – Basic Retouching
On top of the photoshoot price, the 3 working days turnaround price is 125€ (excl. VAT).
Let us know in advance if you require a rush service fee so we can confirm our schedule will allow it at that time.
Extra fees may apply outside Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Hilversum.
Outside the Netherlands – to be determined.
