MARIE
On a very hot day in the dunes, we worked in a landscape shaped by sun, sand and gentle wind. The light was bright and warm, creating soft lines and subtle movements in the landscape. Marie moved with a natural ease, her presence blending into the simplicity of the dunes. The conditions were intense, but the atmosphere of the shoot remained calm and focused, allowing the heat and stillness of the day to become part of the story.
As the shoot progressed, we moved from standing poses into more grounded, reclining positions. Lying in the warm sand brought a different kind of stillness, creating softer lines and a deeper connection with the landscape. The shapes became more subtle, the mood more intimate, and the gentle wind added just enough movement to keep every moment natural and unforced.
Testimonial:
Having been in the photography world for almost 10 years, my experience with Joost was not only fun but also very good. He not only tries to make the model feel extremely comfortable during the shoot, but he is also very aware of everybody around and protective. It was an outside shoot for us.
Not only was the conversation interesting, but also very fun, and going all the way to Holland was definitely worth it.
The results are not only beautiful and flattering, but he also keeps that natural touch. He flatters the natural body shape while keeping it glamorous and subtle.
I loved that he kept some of my smiles in the pictures to show the goofy side of the shoot.
What I really appreciate is that he managed to create images that are not overly photoshopped, yet still have a quality that reflects great camera work and experience.
He really knows what he’s doing. I would definitely work with him again if I have the chance, and I would highly recommend him to any models starting out.
Working a little further into the dune grass, I was reminded how effortless it is to collaborate with Marie, whose professionalism and calm presence elevate every moment of the shoot.
