The 16th of July
Photography, one-on-one sessions, keynotes and interior styling — three passions, one house. Spencer & Katerina.
Atelier
Made by Mr. Barry
Timeless black-and-white portraits, fashion and events. Light, shadow, and the courage to be seen.
For those who would rather be true than styled into a trend.
Choose a sitting
Sessions
Personal work, online or in person, to live from unshakable calm. Intimate. Practical. Not a performance.
For people who meet pressure, conflict, and public work.

Spencer A. Barry
Inner peace under pressure — from the highest peaks to the darkest valleys. Booked only through Athenas.
For rooms that need calm they can use the same afternoon.

Katerina
Brocante, vintage soul and modern elegance in one room. Consultations on request.
For houses that want to feel like themselves, only quieter.

“I thought I had to pose. In the photo I was just myself, a bit tired. That one stayed.”
“No talk. He asked what was actually going on in the room and stayed with that.”
“She didn't buy anything new. She moved two chairs and the house suddenly felt like ours.”
16 July 2022
The second time their paths crossed. The spark. Spencer and Katerina became inseparable that night. The house that followed is named for the date: inspiration, artistry, and soul.

Location, time, money, and what “via Athenas” actually means.
The house works from Belgium. Portrait sittings and styling visits can be at the studio, in your space, or on location. Travel within 25 km is included. Beyond that we charge €0.45 per kilometre. One-on-one sessions are online or in person — you choose.
Finished photographs are delivered through a private gallery within 10–14 working days. High-resolution files are included. Extra finished photographs are €22 each; a museum-quality print starts at €55.
Only a keynote is booked through Athenas — not through this house or on WhatsApp. Athenas is the speaker bureau that represents Spencer for stages. They look after fit, fee, and the agreement. Use the Athenas link on the Keynotes page. Workshops, sessions, photography and styling are booked in this app or on WhatsApp.
Yes, for private clients. Companies can receive an invoice excluding VAT on request. A 40% retainer confirms the date; the remainder is due before or on the sitting.
For one-on-one work, yes — the work is intimate, and a complimentary 20–30 minute call comes first. For photography you may enquire for a sitting directly, or start with the same call if you want to feel the house first. Styling begins with a conversation.
Presence is one 90-minute session and one Truth Session portrait sitting — eighteen black-and-white photographs. First you land. Then we show who you are when you no longer have to perform. It is one piece of work, not two appointments glued together.
English and Dutch. You choose.
A 40% retainer confirms it. Gallery delivery follows 10–14 working days after the sitting. In a later chapter of this house, retainer and invoice will live in a small client portal; for now the call is enough to begin.
