The Leading Headshot Photographer Rotterdam
Gabriel is a corporate portrait and headshot photographer, specializing in professional images for businesses. He does not cover weddings, newborns, real estate, or other types of photography.
He has chosen to work with professionals like you because he has the skills and experience necessary to help you stand out from your competitors and achieve greater success in your business.
Having come out of a corporate environment himself, Gabriel grasp the importance of a robust online footprint and recognizes how to capture the characteristics and nuances that project the appropriate message to your target market.
The challenge for professionals is that they often feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, as it’s not a familiar situation for them. This discomfort is noticeable and can result in a poor first impression. Since this is a rare experience for many, like any skill, it requires practice to improve. Unfortunately, by the time someone is already in front of the camera, it’s often too late!
The solution Gabriel offers involves detailed coaching on poses and expressions to achieve a look that is both confident and approachable.
Each session begins with a PowerPoint presentation explaining the ideal positioning of different facial elements to build confidence. The session then becomes a physical exercise, where clients learn to control the positioning of every part of their face (eyes, mouth, neck, shoulders, back, etc.).
Close attention is likewise given to details such as preserving a neat posture, confirming clothes and accessories are adequately organized, removing glare on glasses, arranging hair, testing profiles, and additional factors.
Younes Aouaou and Esther Di Guglielmo are part of Gabriel’s team and can replicate his signature style.
You’ll see the results immediately, and we guarantee you won’t leave the session without a portrait you’ll love!

Testimonies
Gabriel did an incredible job of bringing out the best, and more variety than I was anticipating, during our photo session. I think we took a couple hundred shots, with several changes of shirt and jacket, over three hours in his studio, and narrowed down to the five best. I'm very very pleased with the results, and can't recommend him and his process highly enough.
Putting yourself at ease and constructive discussions to find the combination of position, gaze and smile. THANKS !
Very professional. Pictures are of high quality, and the photograph is attentive to needs.

I went to Gabriel for corporate headshots. I am clueless about posing and generally feel stiff/not photogenic when a camera is in my face, but Gabriel was so kind and pedagogical. I can honestly say I've never 1/felt so comfortable in front of a camera, 2/walked away feeling like I understand how to pose, or 3/loved my headshots so much. 100% recommend him! So knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant to work with!
