Some of you might know that I moved to Brussels (Belgium) for professional and work-related reasons in September 2009. Having more luck than anything else, I had my first Brussels-based customer for PR Photography a couple of months before actually moving to the capital of Europe.

Holistic Massage Studio - PR Photography

It’s not a secret (if you read the title of this blog post) that my October customer was Jari Menari, Holistic Massage Studio (www.jarimenari.be) in Brussels. Tom Ackaert, the owner and manager of the massage studio, asked me to take few pictures for a new website. It was a very exciting experience for me to work for PR photography with him and his models. I must admit that it was also quite challenging for me because the room we worked in was about 7 m2 (square meters). I was really afraid that working in such a small room would be impossible but looking now at the results, I think the pictures turned out pretty well.

The good and very helpful thing was that Tom knew what he wanted from the very beginning. This saved us a lot of time but also put some constrains for me at the same time – because he knew exactly what he wanted, I didn’t have much room for my own creativity. I don’t complain here at all! I guess that I have to get used to limiting my creativity in times when customers know what they want and just do what a customer says. In other cases, I let my creativity, imagination and innovation take over my mind, body and soul

I guess that my adventure with Jari Menari (Holistic Massage Studio) is not over yet as Tom mentioned lately he would like me to take some more pictures for his new massage project (it’s a secret at the moment so I can’t reveal what it will be). I think it’s a good sign when a past customer comes back to you asking to do some more work for him, also for PR Photography – another happy customer who wants more of my work and services!
