As a business photography specialist in Amsterdam‑Zuidoost, Simone Henken creates corporate images and portraits with thoughtful staging, subtle lighting and a strong narrative signature.
I am Simone Henken and I position myself as a specialist in business photography and corporate portraits based in Amsterdam‑Zuidoost. My work targets companies, public authorities and creative entrepreneurs who don’t want standard imagery but visuals that clearly and effectively communicate their vision. I combine years of portrait and reportage experience with a considered, almost theatrical approach: every element in the frame has a purpose. My method is deliberate and precise. For a corporate reportage or commercial campaign I start with a clear conversation: what is the message, who is the target audience, and what mood supports that message? From there I build the image — from lighting and background to posture and small props — so the portrait or reportage conveys exactly what you want to communicate. I apply the same care to LinkedIn photos and professional headshots: seeking an authentic expression where the person feels comfortable and appears professional. I have extensive experience handling complex assignments for government bodies and organisations where reliability and representativeness are essential. For staged reportages, campaign imagery or employee photography I plan in advance, align locations and subjects, and give clear but gentle direction to people who may be unused to posing. My background in theatre and psychology helps me create a relaxed atmosphere in which genuine moments arise. The result is imagery that is both flattering and truthful — suitable for websites, annual reports, campaigns and social media. Alongside corporate assignments, I continue to work on personal projects and fine art photography; that practice fuels my creativity and often gives your commercial images a surprising, layered twist. Choosing me means choosing a photographer who is not only technically proficient but also narratively and visually engaged. If you want to strengthen your organisation, team or campaign visually with sharp, professional and thoughtfully constructed photography, I’m happy to take the time to translate your story into powerful images.
