René Nicolaes Fotografie

I’m René Nicolaes, a dedicated photographer based in Spijkenisse with decades of experience in portrait and industrial photography. As a specialist in corporate photography I combine these two disciplines: I create business portraits that reveal the personality of your staff and company images that convey the atmosphere, craftsmanship and environment of your organisation. My approach is personal and craft-driven. Although I now work primarily digital, my background in analog photography and time spent in the darkroom gave me a deep respect for light metering, composition and technical skill. That translates into corporate images with attention to nuance: a LinkedIn photo with character, an employee portrait that inspires confidence, or an industrial shot of your production floor or port area that clearly communicates professionalism and scale. I work calmly and purposefully. We align expectations in advance: the mood, location and which employees or company areas should be featured. During the session I create a relaxed atmosphere so people feel at ease — that’s precisely what produces natural, convincing portraits. For site and industrial assignments I draw on my experience with harbour and industrial imagery to present lines, machinery and light in an accessible and attractive way. Why choose me? Because I combine genuine engagement with technical knowledge and a love of the process. I believe good corporate photography is more than a pretty picture: it’s a tool to make your story and professionalism visible. My images are ready for business use and many are suitable for print or as wall art to showcase in your office.
