ABOUT
Riel Life is an expressive and versatile model based in the Netherlands. She started modeling professionally 4 years ago and is now working internationally with artists from all sorts of backgrounds. With her height of 181 centimeters, Emma is probably taller than the average model. Nonetheless, she is well known for her compact and abstract posing skills. Her range of facial expressions is endless and she will never cease to amaze you with her dynamic, fluid and creative body language.
What has made her the model she is today, is her passion for photography and art. She has been expressing herself in her self-portraits for almost 7 years now and started with analog photography during the pandemic, this sparked her passion even more. Besides her self-portraits, she has had the privilege to photograph some of the best models the art scene has to offer. Doing so has helped immensely with the development of her photography.
Her work was exhibited two times at Imagenation Paris and one time at Imagenation Milan. She has also been invited to Photopia Hamburg in 2023 where she had to perform a selfportrait act with the Mammoth film camera, which creates a massive polaroid of 20 x 24 centimeters. With her extensive experience behind the camera, she is able to provide valuable guidance and support to aspiring photographers. Her expertise makes it easy for her to give clear directions and assistance to those who are just starting in the field.

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 14 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 less than four weeks 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.
