As a corporate photography specialist I create business portraits, LinkedIn photos and staff photography in Amsterdam‑Zuidoost. Active since 1990 and internationally recognized.
I am Gerdjan van der Lugt, positioning myself as a specialist in corporate photography based in Amsterdam‑Zuidoost. My approach combines decades of experience in portrait and commercial photography with a calm, considered working method: the result is business imagery that looks professional, recognisable and human. I believe a strong corporate portrait does more than look presentable — it communicates who you are and how your organisation presents itself. My background (photographic studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie; professionally active since 1990) and my work for national and international clients give me the technical knowledge and visual insight to deliver high-level corporate photography. Images I have created appear in a wide range of publications and campaigns; I use that experience to produce corporate portraits and business photography that perform well on LinkedIn, company websites and marketing materials. How I work: I start with a short conversation to understand the desired look and practical requirements. On location in Amsterdam‑Zuidoost or in an agreed studio environment I create a relaxed atmosphere so employees and managers can be themselves. During the session I give precise, unobtrusive direction — no rushed poses, but images with character and clear lighting. After the shoot I carefully select and retouch the images so they consistently align with your corporate identity and communications. I specialise in corporate portraits, LinkedIn photos and staff photography, paying attention to presence, recognisability and usability in business contexts. Because I also have substantial experience in portrait and advertising photography, I bring a creative yet grounded eye that helps present your message with visual clarity. Would you like business imagery that combines professionalism with personality? Contact me to discuss your assignment. I work purposefully, respecting your time and brand identity — the result is corporate photography that is both functional and representative.
