My name is Wouter,
I am a seasoned headshot photographer in Stockholm

Corporate and individual headshot sessions determine my 9-to-5. With over 10 years of experience I have helped many individuals with high-quality headshots,
I can do the same for you!

Back in the day, I ran my photo studio in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. But then love came knocking, and it brought me all the way to Sweden. Now, I practice my craft in this beautiful place and I could not be happier about it.

Through my life two things have been constant, my love for riding bicycles and photography. Both of them have come and gone in different forms or shapes. I now ride a gravel bike instead of a mountain bike and I now shoot portraits for LinkedIn instead of landscapes. If you ask me change is not a bad thing, I embrace it.

In Gustavsberg is where I live and have my studio, I love this place for everything it has to offer me and my Family while still being so close to downtown Stockholm where the majority of my clients are. I would love to welcome you here in Gustavsberg, but if you rather have me visiting your offices that is absolutely not a problem, I love seeing new places and getting inspired by the people I meet everywhere.

The power of a good headshot and the impact it can have on someone’s personal brand, or career, is a responsibility I proudly carry. Having my subjects feel good about themselves is probably the most rewarding feeling there is for me. At first glance it may seem like it is all about photography. But in reality it is all about the human connection. People say that there is a calmness about my work and I credit this to the great connection I strive for with my subjects.

“Headshots are for everyone these days, if people can search for you on the internet it may be a good time to start thinking about having professional headshots taken.”

what my customers say

  • Helinä Keskiniva

    “Had the pleasure of having my new Linkedin picture taken by the talented Wouter. He is just the greatest to work with, from helpful instructions on posing to keen attention to detail and a unique touch to the pictures – from lighting to the backdrop canvas. Not to mention the speed at which he delivered the pictures!

    Absolutely top-notch quality and service. Highly recommend for anyone looking to update their Linkedin!”

    “I liked the pictures The Headshot Lab took of me! That sounds very basic but if you know how insanely critical I am when it comes to my own face in pictures, you would understand this is a big deal.

    Not only that, but the photographer (Wouter) showed all kinds of flexibility as well as professionalism. With quick tips and tricks I felt like a model in no-time. Do not post a dumb selfie on LinkedIn, I beg you! Invest in yourself, literally.”
