Freelance Photography

Combining photography and concept development to create real world value for my clients

As a freelance photographer, I combine my skills in photography and concept development to create real-world value for my clients. After graduating from my Bachelor programme in Industrial Design, I took the plunge to fully rely on my own company, which I had started during my studies.

Project Summary

For the past 7 years, I have passionately pursued a career as a freelance photographer. What began as a side gig during my bachelor’s studies quickly evolved into something more meaningful.

During a 1.5-year break between my bachelor and my master, I dedicated myself to becoming a better photographer, entrepreneur, and retoucher. I blended my photography skills with my love for concept development, striving to bring a fresh perspective to every project. Eventually, I resumed my master’s studies because I wanted to explore the tech and design aspects that intrigued me. Photography, on its own, felt a bit shallow; I crave more depth and engagement.

Throughout my master’s program, I kept my photography business running because I genuinely enjoy the work. When I take on a photography project, I work closely with clients, leveraging my background in industrial design to ensure no detail is overlooked.

Testimonial

“Onze favoriete, loyale en creatieve huisfotograaf. Pakt niet alleen de camera bij de hoorns, maar ook de spreekwoordelijke koe. Lieke weet als geen ander het totaalplaatje op 1 kiek vast te leggen. Een totaalplaatje dat overeenkomt met hetgeen een bedrijf wil vertegenwoordigen. Lieke betrekt het hele team bij the making of, luistert en kijkt verder... Lieke’s ‘keuken’ is sterwaardig. Er gaat niks de deur uit zonder perfectie. Haar vermogen om commerciële en bruikbare beelden te maken waar ieder horeca ondernemer even stil van wordt is fantastisch, nog fijner is haar persoonlijkheid. Eerlijk, vriendelijk, meedenkend en verbindend.” - Kara, Eindhovens Rondje
