Fast and high-quality service. The photographer knows what she is doing and helps you get... read more in nice poses! The only downside is that the photoshoots are done in public spaces as she does not have a studio. If you want to do it in a private room, you have to pay 20 euros extra.

    It's my second time working with Marfa for business portraits. She prepares you well for... read more the photo shoot, listens to what you want to achieve, and has a way of making people feel at ease during the session. This is important when working with a photographer. She also checks in and shows you some results during the shot to make sure that you'll be happy with your images later. Post-production and retouching of the selected images are enhancements resulting in authentic results that are of high quality and look professional. I recommend her and her services.
