Your PhD defense is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone. Years of research come together in a single, defining moment.
I capture your defense with care and precision, documenting the ceremony as well as the personal moments that surround it. The result is a refined, lasting record of your achievement, created with attention to detail and respect for the occasion.
“I really wanted to share the famous stair photo with my family abroad as soon as possible, and Kirsten made it happen. She delivered the stair photos within 24 hours after the ceremony, which honestly meant so much to me. I was able to post them the next day and send them to friends and family right away. The full gallery was beautiful, but that quick delivery made the whole experience even more special.”
“I thought I’d just get a handful of nice pictures of the ceremony, but wow. The price was already great, and Kirsten delivered so much more than I expected!! So many beautiful moments with my paranymphs, family and promotors. Everything felt calm and well organized, and the final gallery honestly exceeded my expectations! It felt above and beyond.”
“I was a bit nervous about having a photographer during such a formal moment, but Kirsten made it feel completely natural. She knew exactly how everything works in the Academiegebouw and guided us quickly through the group photos. The candid moments just after the defense are some of my favorite images. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“I’m honestly super happy with how my PhD defense photos turned out. I looked at a few photographers in Groningen, and Kirsten had the best price I could find, but the quality is amazing! She captured the ceremony beautifully without being intrusive, and the photo's I got afterwards are exactly what I hoped for. I’m so grateful I booked her.”
