Glenn Mostert Rotterdam portrait photographers
"Hi there! I am Glenn Mostert from The Netherlands. Last year I became a full-time commercial photographer. But my photographic journey started in 2008 when I was working as an intern at a fashion company. I was a graphic designer until I got in touch with photography (product and model).
I love everything about it and especially working with people. People interest me, everyone has their own story and I want to hear and photograph them! Creating a moment where the person in front of me opens up to me and shows their true personality is the best thing that can happen.
I work in the studio and on location. I use strobes to set the right mood and create something special. During retouching, I try to get the most out of the photographs but keep the authenticity of the person too."

The Netherlands: Glenn Mostert
"My name is Glenn Mostert, I’m a commercial portrait photographer from The Netherlands (but will travel).
I love to make portraits and I have been photographing for more than 10 years, the last seven years on a professional level. When I take a portrait it is not just me pushing a button on a camera; it is the interaction between me and the person in front of the camera that makes the picture.
Of course the use of light and creative post-production create a certain style. But the social aspect of an image is very important. Luckily I am an easy going guy and I am able to connect with the subject really well. Thank you for looking at my images, I would love to create a lot more great portraits in the future and look forward to any opportunities to work together.
For my portfolio please visit my website or social media."
