Emma Helena

ABOUT

My name is Emma, I am a 26 years old and I live in the Netherlands. I started modeling professionally 4 years ago.

I am 181 centimetres tall and have been described as having a natural figure with versatile and dynamic posing style. I also have some experience being behind the camera both with self portraits and as a photographer. This has helped me a lot with understanding and improving my body language and facial expressions. It's also helping me learn how to aid in direction and support of other learning photographers. I have many different looks and when I pose I use my entire body. My current passion is directed towards abstract poses but I really enjoy being my natural self as well. 

I studied Illustration Design at the art academy of Utrecht and Zwolle, which is where my passion for photography started. During the COVID lockdowns I started with analog photography. Since then I have barely touched a digital camera. For me, nothing can compare with the charm of film.

- Only my artist name, Emma Helena or Riel Life, can be used in reference to our photography.

- If you need me to sign a model release, please send me a copy before our shoot, I do not sign contracts presented to me on the day of the shoot or the day after.

- Please confirm at the time of booking if you: 

◉ Want me to pose with other models - it depends on the project,

◉ Plan on inviting/shooting with other photographers - we can agree on terms accordingly,

◉ Want to use clothing or props which leave marks on the skin (rope, corsets etc.)

◉ Want me to be covered with oil, glitter, body paint, water etc. - the last 15 minutes of our scheduled shoot time will be spent on cleaning up for which I require a dedicated space like a shower.

Rates and Cancellation policy

Rates upon request. 

​I am a full time model, it's my profession and livelihood and therefore I do not accept TFP/free collaborations. 

My regular rates apply from 08.00-20.00. I am also available for late night and early morning shoots but I will charge an additional 30% plus taxi fare. If you book me for a full day, 8 hours, sunrise shoots can be included without an additional fee. 
I would be happy to provide you with an invoice. 

I require a 50% non refundable deposit to confirm your booking. The remaining 50% is due at the beginning of our shoot. 
You can pay the deposit via bank transfer. Paypal is also possible with an additional 5% - platform comission. 

Cancellation Policy: 

If you cancel our shoot less than 7 days in advance I expect you to pay me for the time I have scheduled in for you (deposit + the other 50%).

It is often impossible for me to schedule another shoot on such short notice. Especially when I am travelling and I have non-refundable travel expenses, cancellations can be devistating and really mess up my schedule.  
For cancellations more than 7 days in advance I claim the rights to keep the deposit as a cancellation fee. 
In case I cancel our shoot, which is very unlikely, the deposit will be transferred back to your account. 

*By booking me, you automatically agree to the above*
