About | Danielle Guillonard Photography

Daniëlle Guillonard (The Netherlands, 1980) is a self-taught photographer and visual artist with more than fifteen years of experience behind the camera.
She began her career in wedding photography but soon emerged as one of the pioneers of boudoir photography in the Netherlands - reshaping the way women see themselves:

bold, confident, and unapologetically radiant.

Her artistic roots lie on the stage, where she once performed as a dancer, singer, and actress.
That background still echoes through her work today - in its sense of drama, movement, and emotion.
Guided by a love for beauty, theatre, and human connection, she brings a cinematic and deeply expressive aesthetic to every image she creates.

Daniëlle works with passion, intuition, and an eye for refinement.
While she occasionally photographs men, it is women who remain at the heart of her work.
She understands how vulnerable it can feel to be seen - and creates a space where women can soften, open, and rediscover their own strength.

Beyond her commissioned portraits, Daniëlle devotes herself to her fine art projects - a world where fantasy, mythology, and feminine symbolism intertwine.

Each artwork 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 coexist,
where women are both muse and force.
That narrative still shapes how I create: cinematic, atmospheric, 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.

And yes, I’ll probably always be the woman dressed in black,

chasing the quiet kind of magic hidden between the shadows.
