Marcel van
Helvoort reference page
Marcel var med oss på
vår bröllopsdag från morgon till sen kväll och förevigade varje
ögonblick värt att minnas! Vi hade innan bröllopsdagen ett möte med
Marcel och kände oss direkt trygga med att han skulle göra ett
jätte bra jobb. Vår upplevelse med honom som vår fotograf var bara
positiv. Han är professionell och la verkligen ned sin själ i
alla bilder från vårt bröllop! Första gången vi fick se alla bilder
var som att uppleva vår bröllopsdag på nytt! Helt fantastiskt! Vi
är så tacksamma för alla underbara bilder från den hittills
lyckligaste dagen i våra liv! Vi kommer alltid att minnas vår
bröllopsdag, och tack vare Marcel är dessa minnen även förevigade
på bild!
mvh

Vi träffade Marcel på
en bröllopsmässa och vi kände bara att det här var den sorts
fotograf vi letade efter. Vi fastnade för hans professionalitet,
personlighet och koncept samt att han var den ende som erbjöd att
dokumentera hela dagen. Innan bröllopet hade vi ett möte där vi
diskuterade upplägget. På bröllopsdagen var han med från
förberedelserna på förmiddagen, vigseln och festen ända till
och med dansen. Hans sätt att arbeta var mycket smidigt och
skapade en glad och avslappnad stämning, inte som någon
stressande pressfotograf. Resultatet blev en DVD, en
lyxigt album med bilder på brudparet samt en snygg storybook som
dokumenterade hela dagen. Stort tack Marcel för allt! Det blev ett
fantastiskt minne för livet!

Vår upplevelse kring
bröllopsfotograferingen var toppen. Det kändes jättebra att ha
Marcel som vår fotograf. Vid vigsel ser jag på bilderna att jag
faktiskt såg honom vid ett tillfälle annars märkte vi honom inte.
Vi valde att även bli fotograferade under minglet, innan middagen.
Då fick vi tillfälle att posera
och spexa till det lite.
Vi fick då även lite fler bilder på gästerna. Innan vi bestämde
oss träffades vi och pratade om hur vi ville ha det,
hur vi tänkt oss. Fick också möjlighet att höra hur Marcel
tänkt.
Marcel är mycket trevlig, kunnig och professionell och vi kan varmt rekommendera honom. Vi kände oss mycket nöjda efteråt (innan och under) och är enormt glada över de bilder vi nu har att titta på resten av livet! Vi har senare även valt Marcel att fotografera i andra familjesammanhang.

“I hired Marcel as photographer for
my wedding. Marcel is an enthousiastic photoprapher with creative
ideas and knows what he is doing. He made excellent pictures which
gave a excellent impression of the day. When you hire Marcel for
your wedding, you are guaranteed to have a photographer that takes
care of one of the most important parts of your wedding, a memory
for a lifetime!”
Robert Bakelaar
We, Martin and I highly recommend you
after the experience from our wedding. Not only did you take
gorgeous pictures but the way you made it happened. When you
arranged a meeting with us before to get to know us and the thought
of how to meet our expectations, made the whole photo session more
relaxed. We wish to work with you again, thank you for
eternalizing our day in the best way.
Best regards
Lena and Martin Ekelöf

"Vi anlitade Marcel
när vi skulle fotografera vår son i samband med hans dop. Vi valde
att göra porträttbilder i hans studio, dels på sonen ensam men
också på alla syskon. Redan när vi kom var Marcel väl förberedd och
bemötte oss väldigt bra. Han är trevlig, lugn,glad och öppen vilket
också avspeglar sig i hans bilder. Själva fotograferingen gick bra,
han lyckades fånga barnen och få dem med sig under fototillfället.
När vi sen fick bilderna, redigerade och i album blev vi alldeles
överväldigade. Han har lyckats fånga barnens känslor för varandra,
minspel och små detaljer i fotona. Vi är väldigt nöjda med Marcel
som fotograf, det kunde inte blivit bättre! Vi kommer med all
största säkerhet att återvända igen, men fram tills dess kan vi
varmt rekommendera honom för liknande
fotojobb.
Familjen Edling- Andersson"
“Marcel is very creative and he
always tries to understand the person's character before taking any
photos. In this way he can produce unique work. I am very much fond
of his work.”

I am a singer who does
the STAGE! never like the promotion part of my business which
includes having to sit and pose for a photo! just NOT my cup of
tea, but i know its a necessary evil! :-)
I have had many photo sessions in my life, but none more fun than with Marcel. He makes it easy as he seems to know the subject he is taking pictures of...it's not a job for him, rather a passion, and that is the only way I can work and the only people I can work with.
Even when he had me standing outside in minus 10 degree Stockholm weather in a short sleeve summer jacket, did I have to laugh at myself because I had fun! Strange because singers do not like cold weather! LOL

It all started with me
giving Marcel harmonica lessons. After sometime he mentioned he was
a photographer. I asked if he could make a poster for my tour witch
he did very professionally. He takes very special, artistic photos.
Since then he has taken many photos of our band
live.
I have asked his to take photos for my website and next CD cover.

"Marcel took photos for my debut CD
"Later is too late" released by O.A.P. Records (2009).
I asked him to capture the essence of my music and translate that into photos for the cover art and take some portraits for promotional purposes. I couldn't be happier with the result! Marcel is a very gifted photographer with a great eye for detail and dedication to his work. His contribution to this project means a lot to me."

I know Marcel from the FotoAcademie in Amsterdam and simply love his work and personality. Looking at his wedding and music photos make me want to get married while singing my own vows :-).
When he moved to Sweden a great photographer 'left the building' for me... but we will meet again and I will have some great portraits made! and who knows..... a man might fall on his knees for me so Marcel can shoot my wedding :-)

“I admire Marcels courage to follow his dreams. Having a very successful carreer at a large IT Consultancy firm but realizing his dream is a more artistic carreer, he left all job securities to chase his dreams. He proofed to be a extraordinary artist in several ways: become the best student in his photography class, winning a competition in his first year within the Acadamy of modern Photography in Amsterdam to which second year students competed as well. Most importantly hiring Marcel for his artistics services is hiring a professional which lives his dreams, this must be the bases of all you ever asked for!”

“I first met Marcel at the Foto Academy in Amsterdam and it was obvious that he had the technical skills to do any kind of photography. As both our work evolved and I learned to know him better I noticed he made photos that at first glance were, let's say, different, sometimes illogical or incorrect by the usual standards. But exactly these photos are burned in my memory because they mean more about the subject on it than what happeded to be in front of his lens; and Marcel deliberately made them that way. So if you need a photographer whose photos will tell you more than you would expect, you need Marcel”

“I worked with Marcel @ Werklinq / CapGemini in NL between 01 and 04 and know him from then as a very intelligent and dedicated professional. Just as Pieter Slavenburg already mentioned in his recommendation for Marcel I also big-time admire Marcel's guts to follow his dreams! O, and by the way: check out his photography portfolio on his website... That says more than a thousand words!”

"I have
had the opportunity to work with Marcel van Helvoort on several
occasions, and each time has been a rewarding experience. He is
dedicated, technically proficient and has a most important feature
from my point of view: an eye for capturing the spur of a moment.
In my specific case he has documented my show Boogie Woogie
Burlesque live, and my group Jump4Joy during a live tv-shoot, plus
in portrait. Every time with great results, maybe in part due to
his devotion to music, which shines through in his work. I contact
Marcel when I need a photo beyond the
ordinary."
