Photo Sessions
📷 Hello! I am Dana Marin, a photographer interested in creating beautiful memories for people and capturing the essence of their personality and their craft. I’m based in Amsterdam & Alkmaar and available in the Netherlands.
Portraits & Family
I love capturing faces, expressions and moments. But above all, I love telling stories. The sessions I offer are like small explorations — of the place you choose for a setting and of yourself. They won’t happen inside a studio. We will go out somewhere or we will use as a background the place where your magic happens. We walk, chat, explore the place and your personality, we play, and we take photos. What is most important is to have a great time, to connect and, by the end of our meeting, wonderful photos will magically appear on my camera 😉
My favourite part about being a photographer is that I can help people tell their stories through images: friendship, love, passion for what they’re doing, connection with certain places, trips to wonderful cities. I approach every photo session — from personal portraits to cultural events and editorial work — with the same goal: to create images that capture meaning and emotion.
Event and editorial photography
I also offer event photography. Whether it’s a performance, an intimate book launch, a creative workshop, or a community project, I document these moments in a natural, unobtrusive way, capturing the atmosphere, the people, and the details that make the event special. I particularly enjoy working on events that have a strong creative or cultural component, where storytelling through images feels most alive.
You can see below the types of sessions from which you can choose. You may have a look at the People category on my blog to see some of my work so far or check out the portfolio. Also, check out the Instagram account dedicated to photo sessions and follow me there: Photoshoots by Dana.

Testimonials:
“Although taking photos of myself is always quite stressful for me, I was so happy with a time I’ve spent with Dana. We were chatting and laughing and had a great time during our private photo shoot in Amsterdam. And although the time flew and it felt like I was just strolling around the city with a friend, the final result and the photos she’s created is excellent.” — Tea.
