Photographer Gemmy Woud-Binnendijk Captures Portraits In The Style Of Old Master Painters

Gemmy Woud-Binnendijk is a Dutch fine art photographer whose portrait photos may make you feel like you’re walking through a museum. Her style is inspired by the masterpieces of old master painters.

Woud-Binnendijk originally studied multimedia design, but it was through photography that she rediscovered her passion for painting, except instead of using paints she began using light. Woud-Binnendijk aims for “soft and imperceptible transitions” through layering colors and tones.
