Marieke Zwartscholten fotografie

I am Marieke Zwartscholten, based in Barendrecht, and as a corporate photographer I focus on capturing people as they really are. My work centres on business portraits and staff photography: clear, professional images that not only show how someone looks, but also who they are within the organisation. Why choose my corporate photography? I use a documentary, unobtrusive approach that results in spontaneous, natural photos rather than stiff poses. This method brings out real faces and authentic expressions—exactly what’s needed for LinkedIn profiles, team pages, annual reports or other communications. My experience with portraits helps me quickly build rapport so even camera-shy colleagues feel comfortable being themselves. How do I collaborate with clients? We usually start with a short intake to discuss brand style, desired mood and practical requirements. I then come on location (office, workspace or a calm studio setup) and create several variations per person in short, efficient sessions: formal, relaxed or more characterful. I give clear yet subtle direction so posing feels natural. During the shoot I pay close attention to light and context so the images align with your brand identity. What do you receive? Professional high-resolution files, carefully edited and ready for use on websites, social media and internal communications. The photos enhance recognition of your team and contribute to a consistent, trustworthy image for your organisation. I enjoy working with small and medium-sized companies in Barendrecht and the surrounding area who value human-looking, professional visual language. Want photos of your team that truly tell a story about your culture and people? I’d be happy to meet and discuss how I can capture that for you.
