Pim is an Amsterdam-based photographer with a great passion for everything that one can create with a camera and with a look and feel that is colourful, powerful and energetic.

Wendelien Daan is based in Amsterdam and studied fashion design at the ArtEZ Academy of the Arts in Arnhem before taking a short-cut to the perfect final result by taking up photography.

Wendelien's use of open and closed body language emphasizes feminine power.  It is the combination of elements - the love of storytelling with an austere surreal undertone - that makes her work stand out.

Her latest project was an exhibition entitled ‘Photo to Fashion’ at the Nederlands Foto Museum, Rotterdam between September 2015 and January 2016.

"Creating an image that fits the mood and feeling, communication by pictures is what we like best."

"A photographer with the guts to be raw and natural," is the best way to describe Dutch photographer Henk Bleeker. His “head office” is located in a small village in the northern Dutch province of Friesland, but Henk doesn’t let borders hold him back; the world is his studio.

Whether he is recording the hard, rough life of Cuban street boxers, or the pure beauty of scantily clad women, every photo tells its own story. Each one is different, yet familiar thanks to his sharp eye and feel for lighting and composition.

Although Henk has varied interests, nothing makes his heart beat faster than typical “male” subjects. He is a no-nonsense kind of guy, and he aims to create an image in which reality rises above itself.

Carola Kayen-Mouthaan lives in Holland where she has her own photo studio. She started as a child and pregnancy photographer and moved to fashion and fine art photography one year ago.
