Niek Woesthuis

I'm a lifestyle, fashion and portrait photographer. Slightly introverted, nature and coffee lover and a big fan of Scandinavia. I am inspired by the beauty of purity, simplicity and compassion. This is the atmosphere I want to capture in my work. Whether the photos show people, objects or landscapes, they all tell a story, they touch and they leave you to have your own interpretation. I try to put a certain calmness into most of my work. Like the feeling that you just don’t hear any disturbing sounds for a second, or you feel a soft breeze touching your skin. In that way all the attention goes to the subjects, a fine opposite vibe in our busy and hectic world I think. Those are reasons why I use natural light as much as possible and therefore I prefer working on location. Next to the digital photography I really enjoy working analog as well. I love the process: the time and patience it takes, the searching, the waiting and eventually the result. It's a totally different approach comparing to the digital world.
