Portfolio photo shoot dancer
Siobhan Camille is owner and founder of the Delft-based dance company Greenstone Belly Dance. As a dancer, she specializes in belly dancing. She teaches dance classes and performs nationally and internationally.
She asked me to take new branding photos of her in her various costumes. The location was her own studio in Delft, where we were able to take advantage of the summery, Dutch light. To soften the light, we filtered the sun’s rays using transparent curtains. This gave a nice soft effect.
At first we made only images with a white background, then (with her permission, of course) I was allowed to photograph from the tropical plants. We also used the curtain as a veil in the picture to give the photos a dreamy atmosphere.

This is what Siobhan Camille says about me:
“I was hoping to work with a creative photographer who could help direct me and provide ideas and inspiration for the shoot. And, yes, these expectations are realized! Jochem has a great eye and helped me with ‘pose fatigue’ to keep the shoot interesting and creative. We got some really beautiful shots out of it.”
“Jochem is a professional who made me feel very comfortable. Communicates well and makes sure that I know what is expected and what the plan is, while still being flexible and adaptable to changing situations in the shoot. He is calm, communicative, professional, friendly and passionate about his work.”
“I’d recommend him particularly for people who are nervous about getting their first photoshoot; he’s very good at making people feel comfortable, which is especially important for those not used to getting their photos taken.”
“Thanks so much for traveling to work with me!”
