Serenity Photograph

Born in The Netherlands Gisele began her creative journey by studying Jewelry Design at the Royal Academy of Art in Antwerp. Soon after she moved to Amsterdam where she worked in the fashion industry. This brought her in close contact with photographers where her passion for photography started. Upon returning to Antwerp she worked for international fashion designer Dirk Bikkembergs. Her work within the company was more related to international sales and having front and back stage duties during the Fashion Shows in Paris. She was surrounded by photographers and learned by attending shoots the secrets of the craft. Given an opportunity to start working for one of her clients in Los Angeles she then moved to the "City of Angels" transitioning from fashion to the music and creative industry. Inspired by the contemporary architecture this city has to offer, slowly she started to focus her personal photography on architectural shots and the contrast of nature. After relocating to The Netherlands she and her husband set up an international production company, specializing in brand identity, concept development, photography, visual media and films. She works as a producer of short films. "Our work takes us to locations all over the world, which offers a creative backdrop for my photography". When surrounded by nature her distinctive observance of the microscopic level creates a different dimension and brings new life into focus. When looking at her photography it gives room for the viewer to imagine something beyond the original flower, plant or rock. A personal journey of natural beauty, form and life energy. My photography and art is inspired by nature, my surroundings and experiences.
