MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER

ITALY – WORLDWIDE

I’m Maaike Kolner, photographer with a focus on soulful brands, unique places, and honest stories. I’m based in Italy, where I live with my husband and our two beagles — close to nature, good food, and quiet moments.
I love slow mornings, fresh air, meaningful connections, and capturing the feeling of a place or person just as it is. Through my work, I show the world as I experience it: warm, real, and full of beauty in the in-between.

MY PHILOSOPHY

This is your brand. Your vision. Your story.
And I’d love to help you tell it — through imagery that captures not just how things look, but how they feel. Whether it’s your product, your space, or simply the way you work: I create photographs that reflect your essence, with intention and care.
Each project is tailored to you and your audience. So whether you run a boutique hotel, a conscious fashion label, a thoughtfully designed Airbnb, or a creative business with a story worth sharing — you’re in the right place.
If you value natural light, soulful storytelling, sustainability and slow, intentional visuals — there’s a good chance we’ll make a great team.
Feel free to reach out, ask anything, or just say hi. I’d love to hear your story.

we might be a good fit if…

You feel at home in nature and are inspired by its calm, natural beauty.
You value photography that reflects that same atmosphere — soft light, genuine moments, and timeless aesthetics.
You care deeply about sustainability, authenticity, and storytelling that honors the details and the soul behind your brand or project.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect and create something meaningful together.

HOSPITALITY

“Maaike did a branding shoot for my business and website. We not only had a very lovely day doing the shoot, most importantly, the photo’s are beautiful. Preparing for this shoot, Maaike made a moodboard and prepared very well to capture the style and energy I wanted. She worked fast and efficiently, helping me in every way to chose the best foto’s. This was a great experience with beautiful results.”
