Specialist in business photography in Leeuwarden. Chiel delivers corporate photography, corporate portraits and LinkedIn photos focused on authenticity, recognizability and impact.
I’m Chiel Hoekstra — photographer and videomaker based in Leeuwarden with a clear focus: business photography that truly tells a story. With years of experience in commercial shoots and branding projects (including work with Branding in Beeld), I help organisations present their identity visually with clarity and purpose. Not generic stock images, but photographs with authenticity, emotion and impact. Why choose my corporate photography? Because I work from genuine curiosity about who you are. Whether it’s corporate portraits, employee photography or professional LinkedIn photos, I look for the moments and poses that convey trustworthiness and approachability. My style is strong and recognisable, with careful attention to light, composition and the context of your brand — so the images integrate seamlessly with your communications. How I work: it starts with a good conversation. Together we define the message, the desired mood and whether we shoot on location or in my studio in Leeuwarden. During the session I keep the atmosphere relaxed and professional; I give short, focused coaching so that even people who rarely stand in front of a camera appear natural and confident. After the shoot I carefully select and edit the images, with an eye for colour, consistency and the intended use (website, social media, LinkedIn or internal communications). What to expect from me: clear agreements, a personal approach and images that leave a lasting impression. I combine commercial craftsmanship with a creative outlook — result-oriented, yet sensitive. In addition to business photography I photograph corporate portraits and other portrait assignments; video and aerial photography are part of my broader offering, but my specialisation and passion lie in business and corporate photography.
