Mélanie eats letters and breathes language: "I tell stories with pen and voice and have been a writer and copywriter for more than ten years. I now professionally combine that written language with spoken language: for four years I have lovingly lent my voice to personal and refreshing wedding and farewell ceremonies." 

"If I have a choice, I'll go for a good conversation, ridiculously extensive brunches and unexpected butterflies when I cycle over hills. Or letters in the mail and an unplanned picnic in the park. I particularly enjoy sleeping in, but fortunately the enthusiastic arms of my sons around my neck make up for a lot. Massages before bedtime make me happy, just like bare feet on the yoga mat, the color of fresh flowers and a barbecue with tribe. Oh, and I also like long walks and an empty head. Of the smell of fresh coffee and old books. Of traveling and coming home.”

As a photographer, Niels searches for the essence: he works intuitively and thoughtfully at the same time. Think of his images as snapshots that capture who you are and show the love you share. In times of intense happiness, but also in moments of sharp sadness. Observing and investigating, that's what he is good at. The bigger picture never escapes him, but he also dares to lose himself in the details. For him, photography is about connection. Connection as the beginning and end of his images. If you choose him as your photographer, you cherish spontaneity. You appreciate the greatness of the small and the beauty of the imperfect.

"Give me height differences and a view that takes your breath away. I love heat waves and sweating plants. I am happy with babbling brooks and a tidy desktop. I resolutely opt for unbridled nature or for the chaos of a southern city. As long as the spring sun lands on my jaw, I will be happy for a long time."
