Have your portrait taken
At Oogappel gallery you can book a unique portrait session with our in-house photographer. Born out of passion for the craft, we do it differently. Instead of cultivating the most modern, quick and easy tools we have access to, we like to take a step back and create a lasting experience. By using a process that has remained relatively consistent since the 1840’s you’ll experience a more intimate connection with the process of photography with more natural and human results. See for yourself!
With the chosen process come many technical challenges as the camera is entirely mechanical. This is part of the fun! When the photographs are taken we won’t know what they look like until they are developed and scanned. In a time where most everything is instantaneous, this positively adds to the experience. The quality of the outcome might surprise you! The reason some photographers still choose to use this process is the quality of the outcome, the details that this camera produces are astonishing. The “sensor” of this camera is nearly 15x as large as modern day professional cameras! Meaning this is not just an exercise in nostalgia, but rather a more fun, rich and result driven method.
Indoors
Indoors we use profesional lighting with an even background. Indoors we can photograph a maximum of 3 people and we’ll be able to shoot close- or medium portraits.
Outdoors
De Olmenhorst is a beautiful location with lots of nature. Shooting outdoors requires some luck, like good lighting and good weather, but photographing in nature brings about some beautiful results! Outdoors we are able to photograph close-up, medium and full body portraits with a maximum of 4 people in a shot.
