Esther Bekker Fotografie

I’m Esther: a visual thinker, storyteller and light catcher. As a specialist in business photography I help entrepreneurs in and around Alkmaar become visible in a way that truly reflects who they are. My work is about more than a pretty picture; it’s about images that strengthen your story and attract the right clients. Why choose my corporate photography? Because I work from strategy. Before I raise the camera, I listen: who are you, what drives you and what impression do you want to make on your target audience? From those insights I develop a concept — from location and clothing advice to a moodboard and clear image guidelines — so every portrait and image set tells one coherent story. What makes my approach special is the mix of calm direction and space for authenticity. No forced poses or gimmicks, but attention to quiet moments and genuine expressions. My style is warm, personal and approachable: images with soft, inviting colours and a natural feel. I often work on location with mobile equipment, creating a smooth bokeh background and warm tones that many clients appreciate — images that are immediately usable for LinkedIn, your website and social media. I focus primarily on business photography and corporate portraits: profile photos for LinkedIn, personal branding shoots for entrepreneurs and image banks that strengthen your communications over time. Whether you need a single strong profile picture or a complete set of 30 images for website and socials, I deliver photographs you’ll be proud to use. How do we work together? We start with a focused conversation — not a checklist, but a meeting. After that comes a tailored concept, practical preparation (tips on clothing, props and locations) and coaching during the shoot so you can appear relaxed and authentic. After the session I select images together with you and provide professional retouching that preserves the authenticity of the portraits. If you’re done with awkward profile photos and ready for business images that truly represent you, let’s meet. A short strategy call is often enough to see if we have a connection and to explore how I can enhance your visibility — with images that stick.
