About | Danielle Guillonard Photography

Daniëlle Guillonard (The Netherlands, 1980) is a self-taught photographer and visual artist with over fifteen years of experience behind the camera.

She began her career in wedding photography in 2008. Among the first in the Netherlands to embrace boudoir photography, she introduced it through intimate bridal sessions - created as a personal gift and a quiet celebration of femininity. Over time, this work evolved into a deeper artistic exploration of how women see, feel, and inhabit themselves.

Her artistic roots lie on the stage, where she once performed as a dancer, singer, and actress. This background continues to inform her visual language today - present in the sense of movement, emotional depth, and cinematic tension that runs through her work.

Guided by intuition, refinement, and a strong connection to the feminine gaze, Daniëlle creates imagery that moves beyond portraiture. Her work is expressive, layered, and intimate, allowing space for vulnerability without spectacle.

While she occasionally photographs men, women remain at the heart of her practice. She understands the courage it takes to be seen, and creates images that honor presence, softness, and inner strength.

Alongside commissioned portraits, Daniëlle devotes herself to fine art projects where fantasy, mythology, and feminine symbolism intertwine. Each work is an invitation - to remember, to feel, and to reconnect with the quiet power within.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and art fairs, and is available as limited-edition fine art prints.

I believe that beauty can heal, not the superficial kind,

but the quiet beauty that awakens when a woman dares to be fully herself.
Through my work, I create spaces where feminine energy can flow again;

where women remember their strength, sensuality, and grace.
Each portrait becomes both personal and collective healing

a homecoming to the self, and a reminder of the power we hold as women.

Yes - that's me in the middle.

The immense and magnificent Palais Royal in Paris.
Paris - the city that holds the roots of my distant ancestry.
The city of bohemians, romance, the Moulin Rouge, and boudoir.
The place where my love for photography began when I was just fifteen.

I’ve always been drawn to beauty, grandeur, and stories from the past.
Those black-and-white pillars - rising and falling in perfect rhythm - remind me of Alice in Wonderland,
a world where imagination bends reality and anything seems possible.
That sense of magic, of walking through a fairytale while staying grounded in truth,

is something I carry into my work.

Symmetry fascinates me. I’m always searching for it - in architecture, in faces, in emotion.
The photographer on the left? No explanation needed.
The couple in love on the right? I’m a hopeless romantic, and I love capturing that intimacy.

I grew up loving myths, symbolism, and the worlds of fantasy - stories where light and shadow co-exist,
where women are both muse and force.
That narrative still shapes how I create: cinematic, atmospheric, sometimes a touch surreal.

Walking through Paris in the rain, I remember why I do this.
That moody, poetic atmosphere - the dance between elegance and emotion - is where I feel at home.
