shot by M.

I’m Marieke from shot by M., your specialist in business photography and corporate portraits in Castricum. As a “photographer in sneakers” I work in a personal, direct way with a good dose of humour — exactly the mix that helps colleagues and entrepreneurs feel relaxed in front of the camera. My strength is creating honest, accessible images that look professional while showing who you and your team really are. Why choose shot by M. as your business photographer? Because I don’t do corporate photography in a stiff or formulaic way. I believe strong corporate imagery is rooted in authenticity: recognisable portraits, consistent team photos and visuals that support your brand without unnecessary fuss. Whether you need LinkedIn photos, employee photography or personal branding for your website, I make sure your look is right — professional, human and ready for online use. My approach is practical and personal. Beforehand we discuss what you want to convey: mood, target audience and practical requirements. For personal branding projects I provide a moodboard and a shootbook so everyone knows the plan and which shots we’ll aim for. On shoot day I work quickly and purposefully, paying attention to atmosphere and giving small, clear directions — no lengthy posing sessions, but lots of results. After the shoot you can easily select images from an online gallery; I edit the photos carefully so they’re immediately usable for websites, social media or internal communications. What drives me is working with real people: colleagues with character, entrepreneurs with a story and teams who want unity without plastic smiles. I excel at creating that relaxed rapport, even with camera‑shy team members. The result is clear, strong photos that position you professionally while keeping you approachable.
