Rick Akkerman brings his years of experience in portrait, documentary and art photography to commercial assignments. As a corporate photographer based in Alkmaar I work with the same curiosity and precision I apply to personal projects and exhibitions: a love of storytelling, a keen eye for light and a constant focus on authenticity. Why choose Rick Akkerman Photography for your corporate imagery? Because I don’t just take photos — I tell visual stories that make your organisation appear more human and credible. My background in portrait and documentary work means employees are photographed as people, not productions — relaxed, direct and full of character. That yields business portraits and LinkedIn photos that inspire trust and align with your brand identity. My approach is clear and goal-oriented. We start with a short briefing: who do you want to show, what message should the image carry and what atmosphere fits your campaign or corporate identity. Depending on the brief I work on location at your office, at a location that enhances the story, or in a controlled studio-like setting. During the shoot I create a calm, professional atmosphere where people feel at ease — no forced poses, but genuine moments with subtle direction. Technique and aesthetics come together in my work: I shape light and composition to reach a specific tone, and my retouching approach stays true to the authenticity of the portrait. Whether it’s employee photography, management portraits, LinkedIn profiles or campaign use, each image is crafted with care so it is immediately usable for press, websites and social media. Based in Alkmaar I regularly work across the region, including Amsterdam, bringing my documentary background to corporate assignments — results-driven, creative and attentive to nuance. I believe a strong corporate photo does more than inform; it makes an impression, builds trust and tells who you are.
