What is a soul?

A fragment of the Boundless.

Words only reach so far.
So I go with Light instead.

Such is the Beauty I try to portray.

A guided portrait experience for people who want to be captured with depth, beauty, atmosphere, and soul — whether through grounded presence, spiritual expression, mythic, artistic, and fairytale-inspired imagery.

That's how the authenticity of a great image takes form.
All is welcome.

What’s Included

✦ Discovery Conversation

We start with a conversation: what you want to express, what draws you, and what you'd rather leave out. Your vision, in your own words, before any camera appears.

♥ A safe and respectful space

Held with care, consent and presence. You move at your own pace, and nothing is pushed. This is your space — you decide where the boundaries are.

☼ Light-Heartedness, Play & Integration

We approach the shoot with a sense of light-heartedness, making space for both vulnerability and joy. There's room for play as much as for depth, and time afterwards to let it settle.

✺ Creativity & spontaneity

Alongside the plan, room for instinct. Creativity and spontaneity come together to capture authentic emotions and lively moments, producing inspiring, vibrant photos that spark imagination.

▿ Professional Editing

Every image finished by my own hand — tone, mood and atmosphere shaped to match what we set out to make.

☾ Location & Atmosphere Guidance

Help choosing where and when: a setting and a light that suit the feeling — natural, cinematic, intimate or dreamlike. Wardrobe and styling too, if needed.

Optionally

◐ Moodboard Creation

A curated moodboard, so we both see it before we make it — colours, textures, references, and any symbols that matter to you.

➝ Gentle Guidance

Direction throughout: posture, movement, where to look. You don't need to know how to pose. Almost nobody does. Sometimes I use music! My style is subtle, encouraging you to do what feels right, not just what looks right.

☐ Print & Album Possibilities

Selected images become fine art prints or an album, so the work lives off the screen.

What others are saying

  • Lindsay Mackintosh

    My photoshoot experience with Sagar was beautiful. I normally feel very camera shy and uncomfortable in front of a camera. But Sagar knew just how to make me feel more comfortable he was very patient, understanding and kind and had several ideas to make it more easy for me to be in front of the camera. He really wants you to feel good and capture you in your power. I felt safe with him as photographer. As he said to me “butterfly’s can’t see their own wings, so I am here to show them their wings”. I could really feel that in the way he works, and how he treats me. I can recommend him for everyone ♥️

    Sagar has a way to get you out of your shoes if camera is not your best friend. Step by step, he takes you on a journey of self-exploration in an ethereal atmosphere where stars are bright on the dark sky - listening with intention, following every move you make, all while feeling like you're home and you can do it. His easy-goingness and warmth takes away every blockage and transforms it into opportunity for self-expression you unlock through the whole session.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Three options are availalbe: €222, €333, €555 — see Investment above for what each includes.

    Travel outside Amsterdam, studio hire, or styling extras are quoted separately.

  • Each session includes preparation, the photoshoot itself, professional editing, and a curated final gallery.

    Depending on the package, this may also include a discovery or creative consultation, moodboard creation, and more extensive concept development.

    Any extra costs, such as studio rental, special styling, makeup artist, or travel outside the included area, are priced separately unless otherwise agreed.

  • Your session includes usage rights for social media, your website, and newsletters.

    Usage for advertising, magazines, publications, or broader commercial campaigns is not included by default and can be licensed separately.

    As a general guide:

    • Mini sessions include around 25 edited images

    Additional edited images can also be purchased separately.

  • Session length depends on the package.

    Mini sessions are around 60 minutes (1 hour).
    Standard sessions are around 120 minutes (2 hours).
    Extended sessions are around 240 minutes (4 hours).

    Some sessions may run a little longer depending on the flow, location, and creative concept.

  • Yes — absolutely.

    Outdoor sessions are a big part of my work, and I love creating portraits in nature and in locations with atmosphere. I can also suggest locations in the Netherlands based on the mood and style you want to create.

    I especially love working with natural light in the early morning or around sunset.

  • Yes, although I do not have my own permanent studio.

    If a studio suits the concept better, I can recommend or arrange a rental space that matches the mood of the session. Studio rental costs are added separately unless included in a custom quote.

  • Yes, in some cases.

    For personal branding, artistic work, or more intimate concepts, it can be very meaningful to photograph you in your own space or in a location connected to your work or story.

  • Yes.

    Selected images can be turned into fine art prints or a printed photo album. This is a beautiful option if you want the work to exist as something tangible beyond the screen.

    Fine art prints start from €60.
    Photo albums start from €150.

  • Delivery times may vary slightly depending on the session and season, but in general you can expect your final edited gallery within 10 - 20 working days. Immersion shoots can take longer sometime.

    If you need a faster turnaround for a launch, release, or event, there is possibility of rush delivery for an additional fee. Feel free to mention it when booking.

  • Yes, if that helps you feel more comfortable.

    For some people, having a trusted friend or partner nearby can be supportive. For other sessions, especially more intimate or inward ones, it may feel better to keep the space just between us. We can decide together what feels most aligned.

  • No.

    These sessions are open to anyone who resonates with the work and wants to create something meaningful, beautiful, and true to who they are.

  • You can begin by sending an inquiry or booking a discovery call.

    From there, we clarify the type of session, your vision, location, and any practical details. Once everything is aligned, your date is confirmed.

All is welcome here. This is your space — you decide where the boundaries are. I'll make it happen.
