For your professional profile, portfolio, a special occasion, or simply because you would finally like to have photographs of yourself that you genuinely love. At my photo studio in a character-filled Brussels townhouse in Ixelles, I guide you throughout the entire session, even if you have never posed in front of a camera before.
Photo studio in Ixelles
Fully guided session
Up to 3 outfits
15 professionally retouched photographs
Would you like to have beautiful portraits of yourself, but feel that you are not photogenic or do not know how to pose? Helping you feel comfortable, finding the right light and guiding you towards natural expressions are precisely the photographer’s role.
The DPMN photo studio welcomes individuals, professionals, models, actors and artists looking for carefully crafted and genuinely personal photographs.
Your session takes place in a character-filled Brussels townhouse in Ixelles. It combines the technical possibilities of a professional photography studio with warmer and more distinctive surroundings than a conventional studio space.
Depending on your goals, we can create portraits against a neutral background, professional headshots, an editorial-style series or photographs using the natural light and architecture of the house.
A studio photo session is not only for professional models. It can support your career, mark an important moment in your life or simply give you a collection of portraits that truly represent you.
Celebrate a birthday, a change, a new chapter or simply treat yourself to a series of portraits that feel like you. Together, we can create an elegant, natural or more editorial atmosphere.
Modern, credible photographs for LinkedIn, your company website, press coverage, conferences or professional communications. The visual style is adapted to your profession and the image you want to convey.
A varied portfolio showing different expressions, poses, silhouettes and visual styles. We plan the outfits and creative direction in advance to produce a coherent portfolio that you can use for castings and agency applications.
The studio also welcomes executives, entrepreneurs, freelancers and small teams. For larger groups, DPMN can set up a professional mobile studio directly at your company’s premises.
DPMN is not a large, anonymous industrial studio. The photo studio is located inside a character-filled townhouse in Ixelles, providing a more private and relaxed atmosphere than a conventional photography space.
Professional backgrounds, studio lighting and several creative setups are available. We can also use the walls, windows, architectural perspectives and natural light of the house.
This combination creates richer, more distinctive portraits while retaining the complete control of light offered by a professional photo studio.
Before the session, we discuss how the photographs will be used, the visual style you are looking for and the outfits you should bring. You receive clear, practical advice so that you arrive fully prepared.
The session begins gradually with a few test shots. I adapt the lighting, framing and atmosphere to your face, personality and intended result.
You do not need to know how to pose. I guide you through body positions, expressions, eye direction and outfit changes to produce natural and convincing photographs.
After the session, the strongest photographs are selected and carefully retouched. The editing enhances the result while preserving a natural and credible appearance.
Whether you need a professional LinkedIn headshot, your first modelling portfolio or a complete image library for your communications, choose the session that best matches your needs. Every package includes preparation, professional guidance throughout the photo shoot and careful retouching of the selected photographs.
I am Julien De Wilde, professional photographer and founder of DPMN. I create portraits and visual productions for individuals, companies and institutions in Brussels and throughout Belgium.
My experience in corporate, editorial and portrait photography allows me to adapt the lighting and photographic direction quickly to each person.
Whether you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera or find the experience intimidating, my role is to create the right conditions for natural expressions and a convincing professional image.
The DPMN photo studio is located in Ixelles and is easily accessible from central Brussels, Etterbeek, Saint-Gilles, Uccle, Woluwe and the European Quarter. Practical information and detailed access instructions are provided when your photo session is confirmed.
