I have waited a long time before I could find this women's work online ... always did I notice Mirella Sahetapy in Dutch magazines and thought her work was spectacular. You can really call her talented, because not only is she superb in styling she also is a very good photographer... ....MORE
It has been a little over 3 weeks now that we have launched B:Studio. The third member fot he Bloesem blog family which is all about Photography and it showcasing series of very talented photographers worldwide. The response so far is just FANTASTIC and I would like to thank you all!!
Yesterday Monique, my partner in crime posted the first real column about photography. Topic this week was: how can I stand out as a photographer? Monique who is been working the photography world for more than 15 years now runs her own agency in A.sterdam and every week she will give us some tips and ideas about the business side of photography... of course she is also very willing to answer questions you might have.. so leave a comment or send her an email.
Just a few of my favorite images so far we have shared on B:Studio:

Via B:Studio I met Kathrin Koschitzki and ever since we had email contact I am following everything this German lady does. She is so inspiring ... her pictures, her thoughts about food and her styling are just totally up my alley ... wow I 'm jealous wishing i could make things like this.
PHOTISSERIE is the name of Kathrin's blog and here she shows the culinary adventures and discoveries of the photographer and Patissière 'Kathreinerle' ... i loved this "Peas' series but you must have a look at the Caramel and foret-noire series too... Read More >>>
Very delighted to invite you to the launch of another Bloesem blog...
B:Studio goes live today!
The Studio is all about photography. We aspire to showcase the highest quality work of international photographers, carefully screened. "We" refers to Mrs. Robinson and me, Irene Hoofs. Mrs. Robinson is the photography agency my good friend Monique Grondijs started in Amsterdam. In a former life Monique and I worked together at this somewhat famous Dutch photography agency. Super excited our paths have crossed again at the right time. So I am proud to say that the team is back together to work on something that has been close to our hearts for many years. Combining Monique's expertise in photography with my online presence in one platform, we believe B:Studio will bring photographers and readers the best of both worlds.
Back in 2006 when I started B:Living it was my passion for images that triggered me to start a blog. And still they play a crucial role in deciding what to share with you on Bloesem blogs. B:Studio is different: rather than focusing on the object of the image, B:Studio will focus on the images themselves and the talented artists who make them. We will learn about their work, passions and professional lives.
By bringing photo series closer to you, we believe we can give photographers more international exposure which will help them to more successfully promote their work. Our experience is that photography, although an exciting industry, can be a tough business for both new and established artists. We believe blogs can be a powerful platform to create more awareness and publicity.

B:Studio is meant to put a big spotlight on the photographer. Why? I spoke about this often with friends who make their living as photographers and asked them what they would like to see happening for them online. We came up with the idea of creating a new blog B:Studio where photographers can show their work. With the aim to be noticed by potential clients, so photographers can continue doing what they do best: making inspiring images for all of us.
B:Studio is not an agency. We simply bring the right people together. Our vision is to be a platform for photographers to connect with a global audience and potential clients.
We invite you to visit B:Studio everyday so you can find that special image, new talent or inspiration.
Enjoy!
~ Irene

A very special Thank You to Ben Lambers from Studio Aandacht.
Ben designed logo number 3 for the Bloesem family. A bottle of Parfume, a little Elephant and a catchy camera all with Studio Aandacht's distinct signature.... pure honest clean and eye-catching.
Studio Aandacht : What do they do
Essentially they are 'look-and-feel' makers with a pragmatic approach towards marketing and PR.
They work with brands, magazines, museums, photographers, designers and teach at art academy's.
Helping them, not only to look good, but also to make smart, strategic business choices.
Ben Lambers is a super talent and wonderful to work with.
I'm devoting this week's 'some things I liked this week' entirely to my dear friend Marjon, the photographer and AnoukB, the stylist ... and their... Concept 2012
Via Character, a free online magazine you can see exactly what these talented and stylish ladies are up to... what they can do for you ... a whole lot of eye-candy that is sure...
Their latest project was working on a new cook book for Laurent Med Khellout from Nomadic Algerian restaurant, Rainarai in Amsterdam...
It all started in March of this year when Dutch photographer Marjon Hoogervorst visited me for a short week here in Kuala Lumpur. We met each other via Bloesem and thought why not do something together.... Anh-Minh from Anthology magazine liked the images of my (old) home here in Kuala Lumpur and was super kind to invite me for an interview for their latest issue: Going Global. if you would like to buy a copy then follow this link.
I can't tell you how proud I am, Anthology is my absolute favorite magazine. If you see it in real you will know why. It's not just a glossy or a magazine... it is a super balanced and beautifully graphic designed and easy to carry around booklet that will give you reading pleasure over and over again.
