Joost van der Velden - Fotografie

I am Joost — an image maker with a love for minimalism and for finding serenity in small moments. As a business photographer in Geertruidenberg I help organisations and professionals with commercial photography that is not only correct and professional, but also carries a distinct signature: calm, accessible and honest. Why choose my business photography? Because I make corporate images that work. Whether it’s a professional headshot for LinkedIn, team photos for your website, or portraits for PR and annual reports, I aim for a natural, understated atmosphere. My style relies on simplicity and careful attention to expression and light — images that convey trust and expertise without unnecessary frills. How I work - Personal start: we clarify in advance what you want to convey — businesslike, creative or quietly composed. Often a short introductory call and examples of the desired style are enough. - Shoot on location or in studio: I work both at your location and in my studio (controlled lighting, calm backgrounds in various colours). - Relaxed guidance: I create a calm atmosphere so everyone feels at ease — this produces more natural and believable portraits, also for people who aren’t used to being in front of a camera. - Fast delivery: after the shoot you receive the selection digitally; for studio sessions I usually deliver within a week via WeTransfer. What I bring My experience with commissions for museums, cultural institutions and reportage work has taught me to create imagery that is both functional and visually meaningful. I am also a member of DuPho, which underlines my professional standards and business approach. For whom - Freelancers and entrepreneurs who want a calm, professional portrait - Teams who need consistent corporate portraits for their website and internal communications - Organisations seeking a visual language with a minimalist, approachable feel I am based in Geertruidenberg and happy to come on location within the region.
