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
In most shoots, I use a single flash, with the light positioned to the left of the model. To try something different this time, I placed the light on the right but had the model sit facing left. This creates the beautiful soft light in the photo that I love so much.

Sometimes, it's good to think outside the box and use something very different in terms of clothing than usual. These beautiful feathers, combined with her face and the color of her hair, make the photo a piece of art.

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.

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.

Tom came with his younger brother for a photoshoot. After taking pictures together, they each had solo photos taken as well. Smiling in a photo is often nice, but a serious expression can be very powerful.
