Sorry, no pictures of ghosts or other paranormal activity here, but if Ghost ever should see a ghost he will take a picture of it for sure !
Ghost is short for Ghostwriter, a nickname Ghost is using for most of the creative things he’s doing. Next to photographer Ghost is also a writer, actor and director. Need a photographer? Need a writer, or a director? Yes, you can hire Ghost. Just send an e-mail by using the button on this page, if you think you can use one Ghost's talents. Ghost is not a good actor, so you don’t want to hire him for that...
Currently Ghost works most of the time with a Sony SLT-A68 and either a 18-55mm objective or a Tamron 70-300 objective, and he also owns a Xiaomi Mi Sphere 360° camera to make 360° pictures and video.
Sometimes Ghost also uses this tiny little Campark 4k camera.
For quick street shots or try-out pictures Ghost uses a Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-90
Other equipment Ghost uses (sometimes)
Neewer Steadicam system (not easy to operate)
K-F-CONCEPT-Camera-Tripod-KF-TM2534T (very handy to make horizontal pictures like photo’s, magazines, engravings, small paintings, art, etc...)
Manfrotto Monopod for places where it’s difficult to use the above tripod (or when Ghost is a bit lazy and doesn’t want to carry the above tripod the whole day long...)
Bresser Biolux NV 20x - 1280x to make microscopic pictures and video in HD quality.
Takstar SGC 598 Microphone for video recording with the Sony A68 (Windcap available)
Camera glasses (for secret photography or video, but Ghost is NOT a private eye!)
Rollei Lensball for lensball photography.
Ghost is also investigating Virtual Reality (VR) with the Oculus Rift. What VR will bring for the future of photography is a bit unclear today, but Ghost strongly believes in this new technology and has already seen ‘things’ that made him think about mixing VR and photography.
Ghost can give a VR demo upon request, but Ghost’s current laptop is not VR compatible. This means you must have a VR compatible computer or laptop yourself.

STUDIO EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE
Since Ghost has moved to a smaller apartment last year he can’t setup his home studio anymore at this time, but he still has the equipment to work on location if needed. Transportation with car or small van required. Ghost doesn’t have a car and moving this equipment by using public transportation is not really an option.
Background support system 3m wide x 2.5m height with black, white or green (for greenkey) background.
2 softboxes available
1 of the 2 softboxes can also operate as a remotely triggered studioflash.
1 boom lighting system up to 2.30m height. In Dutch we call this a ‘Giraffe’ or ‘Galg’.
On location Ghost uses an MSI Laptop.
The laptop is fully equipped with Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and other photo/video software like Phase One Capture Pro to see pictures on the laptop just a few seconds after the picture was shot.
Ghost can also make you look way better than you really are using special software for it. Not some quick snapchat or iPhone filter, but true professional software, that really can do magic. This service (or other photo retouching) can be given with pictures shot by Ghost during a shoot or pictures you already have. For photo retouch of existing pictures a high resolution version or RAW file of the picture(s) is/are indispensable.
Ghost is also a little bit crazy, because he likes to drink his Coke out of an objective...
That’s about it what the equipment Ghost has available and services he can offer. Just check out this page for Ghost’s pictures or take a look at www.ghostphotography.org
READY TO HIRE GHOST?
Ghost has a few rules when it comes up to hiring him.
Taking pictures yourself during a shoot is not allowed, you’re hiring Ghost to do that, right?
Taking pictures of Ghost himself (with or without his hoodie) is not allowed unless Ghost gives you permission to take a picture of him.
Less is more! This means during a shoot a maximum of two other people are allowed on the location/set. Remember, if you want to watch, Ghost will use you as his assistant, and he will make you work! :-)
N**e or erotic photography is possible (it’s not Ghost’s favorite thing to do, but if you pay, we can talk) but ONLY with adults. Minors? Don’t even dare to ask that! Ghost will rip the eyes out of your head and p**s into your dead skull! Proof of age (Printed and valid ID) will be asked before the shoot starts. If Ghost has the slightest feeling you’re not doing the shoot out of your own free will or that you’re lying concerning your age, including using a fake ID, the police will be contacted right away!
WHAT IS YOUR PRICE?
Ghost is priceless. This means Ghost doesn’t have a fixed price. It all depends on what you want and for what you’ll be using the pictures Ghost shoots. Pictures for private use are cheaper than pictures for commercial use of course. Just tell Ghost what you want and then Ghost will calculate a fair price considering the time needed for the shoot, processing time afterwards, travel expenses, desired prints, digital media and license you want for the pictures.
Ghost is a trained photographer and has a diploma in photography issued by an official Belgian art school. This means Ghost had more than 800 hrs of training given by teachers that are all professional photographers with years of experience.
Ghost never works for free, neither he works for a free meal, for the experience or to get (free) exposure with the pictures afterwards. Please look at the picture below and try to understand.
