Michel Grollé

Michel Grollé positions himself as a specialist in corporate portraits guided by the conviction: "Capturing Souls, Not Smiles." From his base in Zaanstad he brings years of portrait experience directly into business photography: not superficial passport-style headshots, but portraits with character that reveal both the professionalism and the human side of entrepreneurs and employees. His working method is minimalist and principled. Michel operates from a place of calm and deliberately uses few elements; light and shadow form his signature. The result are quiet, powerful images in which the subject’s gaze carries the story. This approach works especially well for LinkedIn profiles, management teams and staff portraits: photos that inspire trust, stand out and remain effective on websites and in internal communications for years. Collaboration begins with a short conversation to align goals and desired look: do you want a formal, corporate appearance or a more approachable, people-centered style? During the shoot Michel creates a relaxed atmosphere, gives clear direction and works at the subject’s pace. You’ll regularly see preview images so adjustments can be made on the spot and the final series precisely matches your needs. Practical and people-focused: Michel photographs individuals and small teams, always mindful of the context of use — from LinkedIn to corporate websites. Because portrait photography is his core competence, the focus remains squarely on the person: character, calm and authenticity. Beyond corporate portraits, Michel helps present the finished work as art on the wall through his "On the wall" approach, and offers a simple way to increase online visibility with a concise Online Business Card. This ensures a corporate portrait series gains value not only digitally but also physically. Choose Michel Grollé in Zaanstad when you’re looking for corporate photography that goes beyond a standard profile picture — images that combine integrity, humanity and professionalism and allow the viewer to truly feel who stands in front of the camera.
