Corporate event photographer
The Hague · Amsterdam · Rotterdam
I am Willem Martinot, an event photographer in Amsterdam for companies, government institutions and organisations. I photograph conferences and corporate events — discreetly, with an eye for atmosphere, interaction and the moments that matter for LinkedIn, press and internal communications.
Over the past years we have done many projects with Willem Martinot. Willem's photos have a distinct cinematic quality that stands out.

Amsterdam is an international metropolis with a wide range of conference venues, event halls and corporate locations. As an event photographer in Amsterdam and the surrounding area, I document business gatherings — from large-scale conferences at the RAI and congress centres to networking receptions in the Zuidas and events in Amstelveen and the Schiphol area.
My work as an event photographer in the Amsterdam region is representative and substantively strong. I understand that discretion is often just as important as the image itself. I deliver professional photography that supports the authority of your organisation, ideally suited for annual reports, press releases, social media and online campaigns.
Whether it is a private seminar, a diplomatic reception or a multi-day conference in an event hall: the interests are always clear. I capture not only the keynotes and speakers, but also the spontaneous, informal moments that are crucial for the image of the networking event.
My experience at the top of concert photography (including for Mojo and North Sea Jazz) forms the basis of my approach. It has taught me to anticipate unexpected moments and difficult lighting situations quickly. I bring that sharpness to your business event in Amsterdam. Where concerts are about energy, that experience translates into calm, overview and perfect timing for corporate assignments.
From my base in The Hague I work on location in Amsterdam every week. I know the logistics of large venues and the dynamics of events in the metropolitan region. As an event photographer I am flexible for both short press moments and full-day programmes — often available at short notice for current events.
An assignment starts with a short briefing: the purpose of the images, the programme, the venue and who is the internal contact. We then align on a run-of-day — from keynotes and press moments to the networking reception — so I know where to be without disrupting the programme. Afterwards you get a fast first selection for LinkedIn or news, followed by the full, edited set.
Whether you are a multinational, scale-up or organising team: booking goes via contact. From my base in The Hague I work regularly in Amsterdam (RAI, Zuidas and the region), combining local knowledge with fast availability in the metropolitan area.
Feel free to get in touch to discuss your upcoming event in Amsterdam.
Request a quoteEvent photography starts from €650 for a half day. A full day or conference is typically €950 to €1,350, depending on duration, location, number of photographers and delivery requirements. Multi-day congresses and rush delivery are quoted individually. See rates for an indication.
Look not only at the portfolio but especially at experience with similar corporate events. A strong event photographer anticipates key moments (speakers, interaction, networking), works unobtrusively and delivers images suitable for LinkedIn, press and internal communications. Check experience with conferences, delivery speed and clear communication in advance.
An initial selection can often be delivered the same day or within 24 hours — ideal for social media, newsletters and press releases. The full retouched set usually follows within two to five business days, depending on event size. Rush delivery is available by arrangement.
Yes, as an event photographer in Amsterdam I have extensive experience at venues including RAI Amsterdam, Zuidas and congress centres in the region. I know the logistics of large venues and work discreetly and effectively without disrupting the programme.
For smaller events and single-track one-day conferences one photographer is usually enough. For larger congresses with multiple rooms, parallel sessions or a large audience I recommend a second photographer so no key moments are missed.
Yes. I move unobtrusively through the space, use silent shutters where possible and never block speaker and audience. The event should run undisturbed; you mainly notice my presence afterwards in the quality of the images.
It depends on duration and programme. For a half day you typically receive 80 to 150 retouched images; for a full day or conference 150 to 300 or more. We agree in advance on volume and which moments have priority.
Yes. Besides high-resolution images for print and archive I deliver optimised versions for LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletters and press releases. A quick first selection can be delivered the same day for live posting during the event.
In practice the same role: a photographer who documents business meetings, conferences and corporate events. I cover both atmosphere, speakers, networking and detail shots — suitable for communication, PR and internal use.
