Commercial photography in Amsterdam

Campaign images, portraits, products, events and branded content.
PROPAGANDA produces commercial photography for brands and agencies in Amsterdam and throughout the Netherlands. We arrange the photographer, crew, cast, locations, styling, equipment and post-production.
Everything needed to create the image.
Including the person holding a reflector just outside the frame.

Commercial photography services

We produce photography for:

  • Advertising campaigns
  • Brand content
  • Corporate portraits
  • Lifestyle shoots
  • Product photography
  • Social media
  • Employer branding
  • Events
  • Editorial content
  • Behind-the-scenes content
  • Press images
  • Website photography

Photography can be produced as a standalone shoot or combined with video production.
Combining both can save time, align the visual approach and make better use of locations, cast and styling. It does require a schedule that gives each discipline enough room.
Two cameras do not automatically create twice as many hours.

Campaign photography

Campaign photography starts with a strong visual idea and a production plan that makes it possible.
We work with agencies, art directors and photographers to translate creative concepts into locations, casting, wardrobe, props, lighting and a realistic shooting schedule.
Our production team handles the details behind the image, allowing the creative team to focus on what happens inside the frame.
We can also create complete sets of crops, formats and retouched versions for digital, social, outdoor and print use.

Portrait and corporate photography

Corporate photography does not need to look corporate.
We create portraits and workplace photography that feel natural, confident and consistent with the organisation. This can range from leadership portraits to larger employer-branding productions across several departments or locations.
We help subjects feel comfortable and keep the setup efficient, especially when thirty people have each been given a seven-minute slot between meetings.
A familiar situation.

Product photography

We photograph products for campaigns, websites, social media, retail and launch materials.
Depending on the product and concept, we can produce clean studio images, styled compositions, lifestyle photography or more elaborate campaign visuals.
Our team can arrange:

  • Studio
  • Photographer
  • Lighting
  • Styling
  • Props
  • Models
  • Set design
  • Retouching
  • Format delivery

Products often look effortless in the final image.
The clamps, tape and fishing line stay behind the scenes.

Event photography

We capture launches, conferences, festivals, internal events, performances and brand activations.
Event photography needs to cover the important moments without turning the photographer into the most visible person in the room.
We provide fast selections and can arrange same-day edits for press, social media or internal communication.
