Headshots and Brand Portraits in Den Haag (The Hague)
For international professionals in Den Haag
who have outgrown their online photo
You've said it before anyone asked: "I'm not photogenic." Probably as a warning, before the camera is even in the room. You run a practice in Den Haag. You advise clients, lead workshops, make decisions all day. Then someone points a lens at you and you notice your hands, and wonder what your face is doing without you. Meanwhile the photo on your LinkedIn profile is five years old, and the one on your website was taken by a friend on a phone.
That isn't a personal failing. It's what happens when nobody has shown you what to do. A sitting with Andy Malhan is built the other way round: reducing the pressure, not adding to it.
 
What a sitting looks like
It starts with a brand call. 15 to 30 minutes, by video, phone or in person. You talk about where the finished frames will be used first, what someone should think about you in the two seconds they look, and your brand colours. Outfits are settled on the call, so there are no decisions left on the morning.
Then the sitting itself. About 15 minutes of talking about nothing in particular. Nobody asks you to relax. Somewhere in the first 20 minutes you'll say something you actually mean, mid-sentence, and that's usually the frame worth having.
Where it happens. In the studio in Wassenaar, a 15-minute drive from the centre of Den Haag, with plenty of free parking. Or on location: your office, a meeting room, a space that means something to your work. A dark room is fine, the lights come with the camera. Travel within about 25 km of Wassenaar is included, which covers Den Haag.
Everything in English. The whole process, from the first message to the gallery.
Edited to your brand
Before photography, Andy spent over two decades in visual communication as a designer and creative director. Every sitting is edited to be on point with your brand, so the finished frames sit with your logo, your website and your colours from day one.
Every frame that's kept has to pass three questions.
- Is it honest?
- Does it serve its purpose?
- Does it respect the person in it?

Hi, I'm Andy.
I'm a portrait photographer based in Wassenaar. I work with international professionals in and around Den Haag who've built something they're proud of and whose visual presence hasn't caught up yet.
My work is shaped less by style and more by temperament. I'm quiet by nature. I listen carefully. I pay attention to what makes people comfortable, and to what gets in the way. That matters, because most people don't enjoy being photographed. I believe good portraits begin with reducing pressure, not adding to it.
