“Kristine definitely took the food videos we did to the next level. Can’t go wrong with this talented creator.”

“Working with Kristine was a pleasure. She is a very loyal and well willing person. Kristine is very creative and she will always strive for the best result. Besides that she I a very nice person to work with.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Kristine on a project that was supposedly quite simple but turned out to be quite challenging. Kristine prepared very well for it and was able to propose creative solutions to solve all the challenges we encountered during the shoot. She really went the extra mile to ensure everything would be delivered on quality and on time, despite the surprises along the way!

“Kristine has been amazing to work with from start to finish. Not only is she a talented photographer and videographer but she is a joy to work with. Nothing is too much trouble, she is incredibly professional, patient and has a great attention to detail. She is a quick communicator and takes any sort of feedback constructively. I look forward to working with Kristine on a consistent basis!”

“Kristine is an incredible artist! Beyond her artisitic talents, Kristine is a valuable business partner who needs little direction. Kristine has taken the time to understand my business, target market and essence of brand. This has resulted in high-value marketing images that drive the branding efforts to a premium level. Highly recommend Butterfly Studio!”

“Fantastic collaboration with Krisitine; she spent the whole day with our company to take portrait and mood shots. Very happy with the results! I can highly recommend Kristine for high quality photography results.”

“Miss. Kristine Trofimova is an outstanding high quality content creator and photographer. A person who always looks for perfection and brings it to an outstanding result. She always makes things better than they are and has an eye for details [..] “

Wat een geweldige ervaring!

Kristine is uiterst professioneel, neemt graag de tijd voor je en denkt ook met je mee. De correspondentie verliep goed en snel en ook de foto’s werden snel opgestuurd en waren van topkwaliteit. Een echte aanrader!

FAQ

How much does a food photographer in Amsterdam cost?

Every project is scoped individually based on your brand, content needs, and deliverables. Day rate from €750,-. Retainer packages from €500,- per month for brands that need content on a regular basis.

Do I need to prepare the food myself or does Butterfly Studio handle that?

We handle everything. Groceries, food prep, styling, lighting, composition, the full production is on us. You deliver the product, we take care of the rest. If you have specific ingredients or a recipe that needs to be included, we align on that upfront. But the default is simple: you don’t have to think about a thing.

Is food styling included in the price?

Basic props and styling are part of how we work. For complex sets or specialist food styling we collaborate with trusted stylists. We discuss this during the briefing so you know exactly what is included and what is additional before we start.

How many images do I receive and what is the turnaround time?

The number of images depends on set complexity and shoot type. A full shoot day typically delivers between 10 and 25 curated, retouched images. Standard turnaround is 5 to 10 working days. Rush delivery is available on request.

Do you shoot on location or only in studio?

Both. We shoot in a dedicated photography studio and on location across the Netherlands. Location shoots work well for brands that want an authentic environment. Prefer a controlled studio setup? We arrange that too. We always discuss upfront which setting fits your brand and the look you are after.
