Marlies Hofstede Fotografie

As a business photographer based in Scheveningen, I help companies create clear, professional images that strengthen their story and brand voice. My approach is rooted in years of portrait and lifestyle photography: I aim for a natural, atmospheric style that presents employees and entrepreneurs as genuine and approachable. The result is imagery suited for websites, annual reports, LinkedIn profiles and internal communications. Why choose Marlies Hofstede Photography? I combine a calm, engaged working method with a keen eye for composition and colour. Rather than relying on forced poses, I work with short, effective sessions and practical guidance so that even those not used to being photographed can relax and be themselves. The outcome is business portraits and team photos that look professional but feel human — exactly what modern communication requires. What makes my approach different? My background in lifestyle and portrait photography means I pay attention to atmosphere, context and authentic interaction. For corporate shoots I consider the surroundings — office, workshop or on-location — and use that environment as a visual frame for the portrait. This produces versatile images: close-ups for LinkedIn, group shots for “About Us” pages and contextual images for social media and presentations. How does the collaboration work? After a short briefing we align on objectives and target audience. I advise on location, lighting and outfits and quickly build rapport with staff during the shoot. My workflow is efficient and relaxed: short individual sessions, room for spontaneous moments and always an eye for consistency in style. After the shoot I provide professional editing so the images are ready to use online and in print. Whether you need a corporate portrait, a LinkedIn headshot or a series of images for internal and external communications, I deliver photographs with character and quality. From Scheveningen I work with local and national clients and am happy to help develop an image strategy that fits your organisation. Contact me for an introduction or a tailored quote.
