Curves
By isolating a part of the body, emphasizing lines through the placement of light and removing color from the image, you create an abstract representation of the body.
My photo studio is an ideal space for amateurs in photography and pros to shoot in a relaxed atmosphere. There are many different accessories available so you can also do some experimenting if you want.
I can help you get started if you appreciate that but generally tenants take care of everything themselves.
It is not a problem if there is a setback and it all takes a little longer, because I plan the rentals so that some extended time is possible.
In short, it is the perfect location to work undisturbed.
My photo studio is located in unit C018 on the first floor of Bink36(www.bink36.nl), near to The Hague Central Station. The studio measures 7.5 x 5 x 4.5 meters (dxwxh) and has a lot of equipment and accessories available.
Note: Space is limited so unfortunately not suitable for more than 4 people at a time.
The photo studio is often used by web shops for their product photography.
There is a small countertop, a sink with hot and cold water, refrigerator and facilities to make coffee/tea.
The photo studio is located just off the motorway and is easily accessible by public transport (a 10-minute walk from Central Station and Hollands Spoor). Parking at the studio is on private property and is free for the first two hours, then €4/hour.
Please call (06 4177 3828) or email me if you have any questions, for more information or just to arrange a date.
Bye, Leon
Further down this page and on Instagram @fotostudiodenhaag you will find photos and video of the photo studio “in use.
FOR RENT: FROM €23,50,- PER HOUR – THE MOST AFFORDABLE PHOTO STUDIO IN THE CENTER OF DEN HAAG.
The studio is versatile and very affordable! Ideal for product photography for web shops, model photography, business portraits or a fun maternity shoot.
Also for rent is the full frame Nikon D700 (with 1.8 50mm lens) and the professional Sony PMW-EX1 video camera and the Manfrotto 525MVB video tripod, continuous light bulbs.
1. Hiring begins, of course, with an email or phone call to see if your desired date and times are still available.
2. When you hire with me for the first time, we meet in the studio once beforehand. I will then explain the layout of the studio, so where to find everything as well as the house rules of Bink36.
3. One day before you start renting you will receive a key code from me with which you can take the key to the studio on the day of the photography.
If you rent outside standard opening hours (after 7:30 p.m. and on weekends), you will also need an access card to enter the building. If that applies to you I’ll talk to you about how to get that card.
NOTES. If you don’t have photographic studio experience yet, it’s better to take a studio workshop with me first to make sure you get the results you’re looking for.
Each tenant will receive the rental conditions and Bink36 house rules by email upon reservation. These must be digitally signed prior to the start of the lease. You can preview those documents here.

Voor een studio-noob was dit echt een geweldige eerste ervaring! Leon is een fijne kerel, hij heeft me helemaal op sleeptouw genomen en alles uitgelegd. Mooie fotostudio, van alle gemakken voorzien! Keuze in back-drops, meer dan genoeg flitsers en accessoires, koffie/thee en een koelkastje. In september heb ik de studio maar gewoon nog een keer geboekt!
De studio van Leon is waanzinnig om in te werken. De communicatie vooraf verloopt gemakkelijk en de apparatuur is erg fijn in gebruik en ziet er verzorgt uit. Ook de uitleg in de studio was erg fijn, van Leon zelf. Ik ga de fotostudio zeer zeker vaker huren en kan niet wachten op de volgende keer!
Voor mijn Ben in Beeld-fotoshoot de fotostudio van Leon gehuurd en het voelde als thuis. De communicatie van te voren was top en alles was geregeld. Een mooie studio met alles erop en eraan zoals een backdrop en verlichting. Daarnaast is er ook een klein keukentje aanwezig voor voedsel en drank. Een mooie ervaring voor mij maar ook de modellen!
Hele fijne communicatie over de mail. Bij ontvangst in de fotostudio goede uitleg over apparatuur. Daarnaast had Leon heel attent water en mandarijnen voor ons klaargelegd. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.
Top studio! Alle benodigdheden en technologie waren aanwezig. En geweldig geholpen met alles door Leon: zeer behulpzaam. Hartstikke bedankt! Wij gaan hier voortaan regelmatig shooten! Nogmaals dank Leon! Gr. Yamina

The body deformed and, in a thin layer of milk, reduced to two dimensions.
During my master’s degree in photography, the idea of experimenting with distortion, elegance and sensuality arose. Is the body still elegant, perhaps even sensual when the natural forms become out of proportion?
My photo book Naked the Hague focuses entirely on our body image. With 330 photographs and personal stories, Hagenaars expose themselves literally and figuratively.
It is a sequel to Naked Rotterdam that I realized in
Still life has its origins in painting, of course, but it has also been a popular theme in photography for many years. The quality of composition and control of light are also essential in still life
My cradle was on Sonoy Street. That’s where I grew up with my older brother. Fortunately, I went through elementary and middle school without many problems.
I focused mainly on my sport from the age of thirteen: rugby at HRC (Haagse Rugby Club). I had a fantastic time there. That period taught me a lot and it has shaped ‘today’s Leon’ to a large extent. After I finished secondary school, I went to the HALO at the Laan van Poot to study to become a ‘Physical Education teacher’. I had always wanted to be a PE teacher and in 1986 I started teaching at the Nederlands Lyceum and the Scholengemeenschap Zuid-Walland. Which later became the Johan de Witt College.
When I was still in high school I was already experimenting with photography, in those days still analog, of course. I had the luxury of a darkroom in my childhood home and experienced the magic of working in a darkroom early on. It is actually only fairly recently that I have made photography my profession.
In 2017, I obtained my Master’s degree in Photography from Staffordshire University. I now teach photography and video classes at the Hague University and have my own photo studio in The Hague (Bink36.nl) where I enjoy creating autonomous work.
My all-time examples and idols are Erwin Olaf, Helmut Newton and Ellen von Unwerth.

The photography workshops can be entirely configured according to your own wishes. In the studio or on location, with or without flashes, including or excluding models.
