Museumfoto

Museumfoto is a photography studio located near Dam Square, offering specialized portrait sessions and costume photography. The space is equipped with professional lighting and features a collection of handmade historical garments for customers to use during shoots.

The studio has established itself as a fixture in Amsterdam's historic city center, working with artworks from classical Dutch painting traditions. Its development reflects the desire to make art history accessible through contemporary photography.

The studio invites visitors to dress in historical costumes and recreate famous Dutch paintings through photography. It merges the desire to capture memories with a playful engagement with classical artworks that people know from museums.

Visits should be arranged in advance and planned during regular opening hours when staff is fully available. Allow time for selecting your costume and preparing before the photo session begins.

The studio uses actual paintings as references and attempts to recreate the lighting and composition of classical works in contemporary photographs. This approach makes the art historical experience more direct and personal than a typical museum visit.
