Corporate photography from Hilversum by Dirk‑Jan van Dijk. Specialist in corporate portraits and LinkedIn photos, using a natural, reportage approach that captures professionals relaxed and authentic.
As a commercial photographer based in Hilversum, Dirk‑Jan van Dijk brings business photography back to what matters: people, authenticity and narrative. After studying International Business he made the conscious choice at 25 to turn his passion into a profession. That background not only gave him discipline and commercial insight, but also a keen understanding of the needs of companies and professionals who want to use imagery with purpose and style. Dirk‑Jan positions himself as a specialist in business photography and corporate portraits. His work is characterised by realism and a reportage-like approach: no over-polished posing, but portraits that show a person as they are within their professional context. He prefers to work on location — in offices, factory halls or outdoor environments — because the surroundings add to the story and atmosphere of the image. Many of his corporate portraits are made with available or natural light; this produces a relaxed look that works well for LinkedIn photos, website profiles and annual reports. How does he work? Inquiry and attention come first. In advance Dirk‑Jan consults with the client to clarify the objective, brand identity and desired visual tone. During the shoot he creates an informal, calm atmosphere so employees feel at ease quickly — and that relaxed state produces genuine images. His experience with editorial assignments and magazine shoots enables him to improvise on the spot and capture distinctive moments, even on short shoot days or when photographing a large number of portraits at a single location. Why choose Dirk‑Jan? Because he approaches business photography like journalistic portraiture: clear, honest and goal-oriented. His images tell something about the individual as well as the organisation. Whether you need a representative corporate portrait, a modern LinkedIn photo or professional employee photography for internal or external communication, Dirk‑Jan delivers images that are credible and visually defining. Located in Hilversum, he works with companies and professionals across the Netherlands. His approach combines technical skill, a sharp eye for composition and a human-centred attitude that makes every corporate portrait more than just a photo.
