As a business photographer based in Zaanstad, I combine two worlds: a background in graphic design and a passion for photography. That blend makes my corporate photography distinctive—I look beyond a single attractive image and consider how visuals strengthen your brand communication. Whether it’s corporate portraits, LinkedIn photos or team photography, my aim is always the same: to present your story clearly and professionally. Why choose me? I work from a personal, creative approach. First I listen carefully to your needs, brand identity and the message you want to convey. With that input I develop a concise, clear concept: from how employees present themselves to the mood and tone the images should communicate. My experience as a media designer and work on projects like HvA-social and MozzFest mean I can move quickly and think visually about your house style and branding. My style is fresh, approachable and professional. Portrait and corporate photography are built on trust and ease: I create a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere (with a touch of humor when appropriate) so people can be themselves in front of the camera. That produces natural, powerful portraits that look professional without feeling stiff—ideal for LinkedIn, website profiles or internal communications. How I work: we start with a short intake to establish goals, location and the desired look & feel. On the shoot day I ensure a calm, efficient session with time for guidance and a variety of poses and compositions. After the shoot I carefully select and edit the images so they are immediately usable across your communication channels. Because I also do graphic work, I can advise on cropping and image use within your existing visual identity. I enjoy collaborating and actively think along with you—whether you’re a start-up aiming to make a strong first impression or an organisation that wants to professionalise employee files and LinkedIn profiles. Based in Zaanstad, I work with companies in the region and beyond. Let’s explore how we can tell your business story in images: creative, personal and purpose-driven.
