Our International Network & Collaborations

At Sandra Herrero Photography, we value international connections, cultural exchange and continuous learning. Through our international traineeships and our connections with schools, universities and professional organisations, we also create opportunities to share knowledge, develop skills and bring people from different backgrounds together.

Above all, inspired by Erasmus+ values like inclusion, intercultural understanding and international cooperation, we want our trainees to feel welcome and enjoy life in the Netherlands beyond the workplace. For example, from a welcome breakfast on their first day to day trips, boat outings and cultural activities, we discover Dutch culture together and make lasting memories.

Photography Events & Creative Communities

Above all, staying inspired means exploring, learning and connecting with the creative industry. That’s why we attend photography events, creator gatherings and workshops, and visit exhibitions, museums and creative spaces to discover new ideas, test the latest equipment and keep up with trends in photography, video, AI, design, social media and marketing.

As a result, these experiences help us exchange knowledge, connect with other professionals and bring fresh ideas to your photoshoot.

How Our Team Supports a Shoot

For most of the year, our Erasmus+ trainees also join selected shoots. They come to learn and, at the same time, they make your session even smoother.

Lighting and equipment: they set up and hold lights and reflectors, so Sandra can focus completely on you.

Behind-the-scenes videos: they also film short phone videos of your session. After the shoot, you receive them by AirDrop or by link, so you can keep those memories too.

Good to know: trainee availability varies, so a trainee assistant is not part of your package or price. That’s why we always tell you in advance if a trainee will join your shoot.
