Sake Elzinga Photography

As a business photographer based in Assen, Sake Elzinga combines decades of documentary experience with a refined sense for portrait photography. Trained at the Fotovakschool Apeldoorn and working independently since 1982, Sake has served regional and national clients for decades — since 1987 he has also been a regular photo correspondent for NRC Handelsblad. This background gives his corporate photography a distinctive perspective: not glossy, generic images, but professional photographs with context and substance. Sake specialises in corporate photography and business portraits where authenticity is central. His approach is rooted in a documentary working method: he observes, captures spontaneous interactions and gradually builds calm, sincere portraits both in the studio and on location. For LinkedIn photos, management portraits and staff photography he creates clear, representative images that support individual character and an organisation’s identity. Working method: before an assignment, Sake discusses objectives and desired tone — from the required corporate character to practical logistics. On location he works discreetly and efficiently so employees can continue their work while he captures the key moments. In the studio (Beilerstraat 27, Assen) he produces well-crafted corporate portraits with attention to light, pose and background. The result is professional imagery ready to use on websites, annual reports, press materials and social media. Why choose Sake Elzinga? His combination of documentary depth and portrait craft produces images with narrative and professionalism. He has experience in publications and exhibitions, has been awarded prizes including the Zilveren Camera and Fuji awards, and is represented by Hollandse Hoogte — a guarantee of quality and reliability. Sake works with clients at regional and national levels and tailors images to communication goals: corporate branding, approachable management photos or striking staff portraits.
