Erik Borst in Hilversum is a corporate photography specialist. He creates clear, human business portraits and LinkedIn headshots — on location or in studio. Authentic and professional.
As a corporate photographer based in Hilversum, Erik Borst focuses on one thing: portraying people in a business context in a credible and engaging way. With a background in documentary photography (Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague), he works from a curious perspective: what makes an organisation and its employees truly themselves? That approach yields fresh, clear images that strengthen the trust of clients and candidates on your website, LinkedIn or in your image bank. Why choose Erik? Because he treats corporate photography as a specialised craft. His images are never forced or overly staged; they tell small stories and present employees naturally. This style works especially well for business portraits, LinkedIn photos and employer branding projects — visuals that look professional without feeling distant. Erik combines attention to composition and light with a relaxed, people-focused working method — ideal for teams and individuals who dislike posing. How he works: everything starts with a short consultation. Erik listens to your objective — do you want a consistent series of business portraits, an image bank for internal and external communications, or strong profile photos for LinkedIn? He then schedules shoots either on location or in his studio, tailored to the rhythm and atmosphere of your organisation. During the session he creates a calm environment with clear direction and brief conversation; this encourages natural poses and authentic expressions. After the shoot he selects and edits the images with attention to colour consistency and ease of use across digital channels. Erik regularly works for clients in the Amsterdam/Hilversum region and beyond, and has experience with a wide range of organisations — from banks and universities to government institutions. That experience helps translate brand values into imagery that is both functional and recognisable. While corporate and portrait photography are his core focus, his work is also suited for employer branding and image bank photography when those goals align with the brief.
