Esther Bloemraad Fotografie
Hello, my name is Esther, and a few years back I discovered photography and my love for it. Since then it has been my passion, I love making paintly like fineart portraits. Eventhough I've been doing this for a few years I'm still learning, and I still really want to improve myself, I also hope to learn a lot more from other photographers.
Winning photos
Siem and Sophie had their first photoshoot together last year. This year, they were eager to team up for another shoot. It’s such a joy to capture these two together. And it’s wonderful to see them bring their own ideas to the shoot.

Twice before, I had the pleasure of photographing Huub outdoors. This time, he came to the studio with his sister for a fine art photoshoot. We captured many beautiful photos, and Huub also came up with some great ideas. He was very eager to have his picture taken with the teddy bear. The result is absolutely stunning!

Sophie wore a beautiful black dress of her own but spotted the dresses in my client closet and was eager to wear one of them for a photo that takes us back in time. The result is a stunning fine art photo with lighting inspired by the old masters.

Together with his three older cousins and his sister, Mees came to the studio for a photoshoot. He wanted to have his photo taken alone as well. It was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but after a few minutes, he started to really enjoy it, and we captured some beautiful, spontaneous photos.

Together with his parents and older brother, he came for a family photoshoot. The boys also wanted to have their picture taken alone. Menno wanted to look a bit tough in the photo. Thanks to the soft lighting, it turned into a beautiful, tough yet sweet portrait.

Senna hasn’t been in front of the camera very often but dreams of becoming a model. After taking photos with a white background, we used the dark background and the light inspired by the old masters to create this elegant portrait.

Taking photos together is always a bit exciting at first, but it’s amazing to see how quickly children relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Working on ideas together and playing with light is what makes photography special.

Taking a photo is so much more than camera settings and clicking. One of the most important things is making contact and aligning with the person in front of the camera. Ensuring the model feels relaxed and creating a calm atmosphere during the shoot are some of the most beautiful things to achieve while taking photos.
