About Michelle: who am I?
My full name is Michelle Fenna Helena – named after my grandmothers – and I am a Dutch portrait photographer with a love for stories and light. My work often carries a cinematic atmosphere, shaped by emotion, mood, and a touch of fine art. I love working with people and capturing them in a distinctive and timeless way.
What can you expect from me?
For me, photography is more than technique — it’s about emotion, trust, and detail. Here’s how I work and what matters most during a shoot.
1.Personal approach
Every photoshoot starts with attention — for who you are and what you want to express. I believe that powerful images come from genuine connection, not from forced poses. That’s why I take the time to listen and create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to be yourself. This way, every image becomes personal, authentic, and a reflection of your story.
2. Professional guidance
Whether you’re used to being in front of the camera or not, I guide you step by step throughout the shoot. With clear direction and simple tips, I help you relax and pose naturally. No experience needed — I take care of posture, light, and expression so you feel at ease and we can capture your best self.
3. Character & craftsmanship
Every photo receives my full attention — from the light in the studio to the smallest details in post-production. With almost laser-like precision, I focus on light, color, and composition to give each image the depth and atmosphere it deserves. Are you someone who values precision and perfection, even in the smallest details? Then we’re perfectly in sync.
