As a corporate photography specialist in Utrecht, I create business portraits and LinkedIn photos that genuinely represent people and organisations. Relaxed approach, professional on-location results.
I am Lilian van Rooij and corporate photography is my profession; I create business portraits and professional staff images that put a face to your organisation. With more than twenty years of experience in portrait photography, I know how to put people at ease and how to use light and setting on location to create the right atmosphere. My approach is practical and personal. I prefer to photograph people in their own work environment: the office, the studio or a suitable outdoor location. There I improvise on the spot with light, colour, clothing and posture so that each image becomes a cohesive whole. I often bring a mobile studio and lighting with me so I can achieve a consistent, flattering look — even for large teams or in confined spaces. What you can expect from me: calm direction, a clear eye for light and composition, and a result that works equally well for LinkedIn and websites as it does for annual reports and press materials. I create corporate profile photos, executive portraits and atmospheric images of employees at work — images that convey trust and professionalism and that show the people behind your organisation. My workflow is people-focused: I start with a short conversation, align the desired mood and the intended use of the images, and create a relaxed atmosphere during the shoot. That often helps people who are not natural performers to present themselves much better in front of the camera. After the session I carefully select and retouch the images so you receive photographs that are ready to use. I am based in Utrecht and travel throughout the Netherlands for assignments. Clients such as broadcasters, cultural institutions and a range of companies hire me because I can work efficiently on location and have an eye for subtle group dynamics and personality in portraiture. Would you like your organisation to gain a face and a story through professional images? Get in touch — I’m happy to advise on the right mood, practical planning and the visual material that will strengthen your organisation.
