No stiff poses or busy instructions. Just space to capture real moments while you are being yourself. I create digital photos that you will enjoy looking back on for years.

Original photos with a natural look and 5.0 stars from happy clients.

Curaçao photographer with a natural photography style

When people search for a photoshoot on Curaçao, they rarely mean a strictly planned studio session. Most of the time it is about capturing a special moment. Something to celebrate without it feeling uncomfortable.

As a Curaçao photographer I photograph people who are looking for real moments without it becoming a production. Families who simply want to be together. Families who want to capture something unique. Or a loving couple shoot on the beach and perhaps a portrait for yourself.

No stiff photos. Just moving together, talking and laughing while the photos happen naturally in that moment.

That is the need I see with families and with people looking for a Curaçao photographer. A natural and original image to take home.

A ByFoekema photoshoot is relaxed – the way it should be. This is how original photos with a natural look are created.

Photographer since 2017

I started as a designer at a young age. My eye for image and composition was formed early. What began as design work has fully become photography since 2017.

I carry out the photoshoots with great pleasure. My goal is to capture a unique moment and create photos from it. The end result of a photoshoot is something you can be proud of.

As a Curaçao photographer I have gained experience with countless families and couples. I also really enjoy creating a portrait shoot or love shoot. I get along well with children. I am a father of three beautiful children myself, so patience and understanding have become second nature.

Why a photoshoot on Curaçao works

Curaçao is perfect for photoshoots. You have beautiful beaches, colourful streets and unique spots. The bright colours and stunning sunsets add real atmosphere to the photos. Curaçao has its own character that you will definitely see back in the images.

Whether we photograph on the beach, in a street in Otrobanda or at the famous Handelskade. The location must fit who you are. Walking, pausing for a moment, giving the children space. Relaxation comes from taking time and letting go.

That calm is an important starting point for me in every shoot on Curaçao. No fixed route or strict script. Just seeing what suits you and the moment. This is how a photo series is created that not only shows what you look like, but also how it felt.

My way of working as a Curaçao photographer

Booking a photographer on Curaçao is simple. On the book a photoshoot page you fill in your request and send it. I will contact you to discuss everything. The date, time, location and of course your wishes for the photoshoot are important.

The day before the photoshoot I check the weather and the conditions. I send you a reminder. On the day itself I arrive well in advance.

Just before we start I have already checked the location and know how the light will fall. As soon as you arrive we get to know each other and go over all your wishes once more. Then we begin.

After the photoshoot I go back to my workspace. I make backups and start sorting the best photos. I always professionally edit my photography.

After 2 or 3 working days you receive a preview. After about 1 to 2 weeks you get the complete photo series in high resolution. They are suitable for large, sharp prints.

Frequently asked questions

What does a photoshoot cost and what do you get?

The prices are clear and agreed in advance. A photoshoot always includes the preparation, the session itself and the editing. You receive the photos digitally in high quality, ready for printing or wall decoration. Want to know more? Read more here about what a photoshoot on Curaçao costs.

What if I have no experience in front of the camera?

No problem. During the shoot I give you simple directions and create a relaxed atmosphere. You will feel comfortable quickly. Read the how a photoshoot works to understand more about the process.

Can I also give a photoshoot as a gift?

Yes, you can. You give it in your own way, without a standard gift voucher. The recipient contacts me directly to schedule the photoshoot. Send me a message from the contact page for more information.

What if the weather is bad?

Bad weather rarely occurs on Curaçao. If I think the conditions are not good, I contact you immediately. Together we discuss the options. Read more here about what I do during a photoshoot in bad weather.

How does payment work?

I value direct payment during the photoshoot – this can be paid in dollars.

If you are in doubt, this is exactly for you

If you are doubting whether a Curaçao photographer is right for you, you are often exactly right. I hear this doubt often and it usually disappears by itself during the photoshoot.

I work with fixed rates, so you know in advance exactly what to expect. No surprises afterwards and no time pressure during the shoot. We take the time needed to create a beautiful, complete photo series.

The prices are based on the type of photoshoot and the number of people. This keeps everything clear and fair. Read more here about what a photoshoot on Curaçao costs.
