Food photographers in the Netherlands are culinary artists who skillfully capture the essence of Dutch cuisine, reflecting the country's rich agricultural heritage and its modern, innovative approach to food. In a nation known for its dairy products, seafood, and iconic snacks, these photographers play a vital role in visually narrating the Dutch culinary story. With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for aesthetics, Dutch food photographers expertly frame images that highlight the colors, textures, and flavors of traditional dishes like "bitterballen" (deep-fried beef or veal croquettes), "stroopwafels" (thin waffle cookies with syrup), and herring. Their work transforms these beloved classics into mouthwatering visual delights.

The world of gastronomy is all about the senses, and that includes the eye. As a passionate photographer I have embarked on a wonderful journey to explore the art of capturing food in all its splendor and flavor. Based in The Hague, the Netherlands together with my boyfriend and lovely daughter. Life is fun and I enjoy it as much as I can. Who am I as a person? It's always difficult to say it about yourself, but when I ask friends I always hear the same thing: " Karin is a remarkable individual with a vibrant personality. Her spontaneity is infectious and she always knows how to put a smile on your face. Her enthusiasm is admirable, whether it is discovering new adventures or enjoying the small things in life." Photography is not the only thing that makes me happy. I really enjoy being at home with my family and friends. Preferably together with a delicious meal and a good glass of wine. What I also can enjoy is curling up the couch with a good book. With al large cup of tea and a bar of dark chocolate. The book must either be very exciting of a wonderful novel. But nowadays with the little one that is a luxury if it works! Love to hear from you!

"My mom told me not to play with food...... I don't listen!" Cheerful, spontaneous, active, passionate, perfectionist and interested in people, those are qualities that suit me. With a completed study at the Fotovakschool and specialized in "Portrait and Food Photography" I now have more than 15 years of experience as an independent photographer. Photography is more than a Passion for me, it is the energy I need as fuel in life. This Passion ensures that time fades into the background and that every photo shoot is mainly about enjoying the moment together. Photography means playing with light. I work with studio and daylight. When the weather is nice I prefer to go out, but you can also often find me in my own photo studio. Are you looking for a photographer or food stylist? Then I would like to invite you to take a look at my website. For more information you can of course contact me.
