self love sessions

Over many years of taking photos, I discovered a passion for creating art with the human form, mixing painting and photography, and this passion led me to the creation of the Self Love Sessions.

Why doing it?

A few testimonies:

What is it?

A Self Love Session is a simple moment out of your regular life, where I can show you that any body can create art, a moment where you can feel free and empowered, and most of all, a moment that you can look back at for the rest of your life.

I’ve learned that everyone has a story, a reason and a vision of why taking on a Self Love Session, so I put a LOT of effort to make each individual’s experience, different and custom made. Whether it’s your first time being photographed nude and you’re doing it for your own self, or you’ve done it before and want to create something spicy for yourself or a loved one.

You can let me know your story, your reason and your vision, I’ll do the rest.

what’s gonna happen with my photos? 

You decide! Everything we create together is yours.

If you allow me to share some, that’s great, but if not, the only one who sees them it’s you.

I’m not convinced..

Before any session I offer a free consultation via video call or (if possible) in person, where I introduce myself and my work to you so you can get a vibe if I’m the right fit for you.

This is the perfect occasion to ask me any specific questions or clear any doubts, and then if you’re still not sure that’s totally fine, there is no obligation to book or pay anything.

let’s do it, how do I book?

    “For me two hours at Tom's studio was some of the best hours in Amsterdam. I cannot imagine a better vibe and for the first boudoir photoshoot than I've experienced there - Tom is a great professional who doesn't make any pressure and with a great patience helps to relax sooner or later. And when you relax, you just start feeling beautiful and important at the moment which is THE experience.

    Getting pictures is another story. I chose not to see them during the shoot, so what I got was a huge surprise in the best way possible. Watching them seemed like having done a collective art work - you contributed your body and personality, while Tom gave his style and a choreography of an action caught on picture.

    This is a very short comment on a huge amount of emotions. Highly recommended!”

    “Tom is a true professional, it is important for him that you feel comfortable while shooting. Working with him, I always feel confident and not afraid of being vulnerable in front of the camera. The results of shooting constantly surprise me, because I see how different I can be!”

    "Shooting with Tom was an absolute delight. His ability to make you feel welcome and safe within his presence is a real credit to his character. His inclusive and versatile approach to photography as well as the professional manner in which he conducts himself was a refreshing experience. If you're after a personable collaboration, coupled with outstanding photographs tailored to your needs, then look no further than this talented artist. I could not recommend him more highly!"
