Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
Yes, usually we plan out the shootings in advance. We set
a theme, discuss with the hair- and makeup artist(s), the
model and possible stylist about what the goal of the
shoot is and what different images we want to create. It’s
usually prepared by a moodboard (Pinterest), and can go
as far as to creating a complete detailed shot list. If there’s
time (and energy ;-)) left after all shots we want are taken
we can go crazy and experiment a bit.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid
professional?
I’d say we’re paid hobbyists, or semi-professionals. We
recently chose to only shoot what we really want to shoot
(portrait, fashion, beauty shootings), and no longer
photograph families, weddings, newborns, etc. that would
allow us to be paid professionals.

What has been your most memorable session and why?
When we photographed the runner-up of Miss
Switzerland. She contacted us for a “color-themed” shoot
as she had seen in our portfolio. As color is one of our
current favorite themes, it was a great request.
Additionally she came with a camera crew, and I (Eva) was
interviewed for an item to be broadcasted on TV, so this is
definitely a shoot we’ll remember (...it’s so much better to
be behind the camera and not in front! ;-))
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
We currently shoot with Canon, and our favorite
(versatile) lens is the Canon EF 70-200mm f / 2.8L IS II
USM.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new
photographer looking to start their own business?
Don’t quit your day job before having enough customers
and don’t forget that every job will have its ups and
downs.

What do you think of our new magazine?
It’s a very nice concept and a great way to discover new
talents!
