Elke Smit Photography

As a specialist in corporate photography, Elke Smit brings a unique combination of artistic sensitivity and commercial sharpness to every project. Based in Amsterdam, she works with companies and professionals who want more than a tidy profile picture: she seeks the underlying authenticity, the small nuances that convey trust and personal strength. Her work aims to humanize professional brands and give employees a face and voice within a visual identity. Why choose Elke Smit as your corporate photographer? She approaches business portraits as an encounter, not a routine task. Her background in portrait and documentary photography and her love of light and rhythm result in images that are professional, warm and distinctively recognisable. Rather than imposing poses, she works intuitively: creating a safe, relaxed environment where staff feel comfortable showing themselves. The result is visible authenticity — ideal for LinkedIn profiles, team and executive photos, corporate communications and brand content. How she works: Elke begins with a brief intake conversation to clarify the tone and objectives of the session. She then aligns location and atmosphere — often on location in or around Amsterdam, always paying close attention to light and context. During the shoot the focus is on connection and genuineness: calm, clear direction and space for spontaneous moments help people come across as natural and professional. Elke combines technical expertise with subtle guidance that quickly puts even less camera-experienced employees at ease. What this delivers for your organisation: images that carry the story of your team and brand — business portraits with presence, consistent team photos and powerful profile images for online and print. These visuals strengthen your professional appearance and increase recognition across communications, recruitment and branding. Elke Smit operates from Amsterdam and brings a personal, artistic approach to corporate assignments. Looking for corporate photography that resonates and communicates professionally?
