Photography by Merlin is the specialist in commercial photography based in Arnhem. I create business portraits, team photos and content shoots — pure, timeless and personal.
As a specialist in business photography based in Arnhem, Photography by Merlin captures your brand and team in an authentic, compelling way. My approach is shaped by three words that define my work: pure, timeless and dreamy — grounded by a documentary sensibility and a touch of flair. I believe great commercial photography starts with real connection: images that reveal your character and uniqueness so clients and partners immediately understand who you are. My work for companies is about more than a ‘nice photo’. It’s about telling your story: from professional LinkedIn portraits and corporate headshots to atmospheric images that strengthen your company identity across website and social channels. I put people at ease with a relaxed, personal approach—no forced poses, just gentle direction and small cues that lead to natural, convincing results. Collaboration is central to how I work. Before each shoot we discuss your goals, tone and needs so every session reflects your brand identity precisely. Whether we shoot on location in Arnhem or in a daylight studio like Studio Spyker, I always look for light, composition and styling that amplify your distinct character. For businesses I provide clear packages such as Branding Portrait and Content Boost, as well as bespoke solutions—always focused on usable, consistent visuals for website, press and social media. I’ve been photographing professional clients since 2018, working with care and attention to deliver reliable, high-quality results. Final images are delivered professionally via an online gallery and carefully retouched to fit your visual identity. My aim is not only to give you beautiful photos, but images that build trust and drive recognition and conversion. Would you like to discuss how I can support your company with business photography or a LinkedIn portrait? I’m happy to start with a no-obligation introductory meeting—either in person or online—to explore the style and approach that best suit your brand. Photography by Merlin: commercial photography with an eye for aesthetics, atmosphere and above all your own character.
