New places, new faces, new rhythms; throughout her life, Isabell Janssen has often found herself moving to new places. Photography became her way to connect, to ask questions, and to learn more about the people around her.

Now based in Amsterdam, Isabell works as a portrait, editorial, and commercial photographer. Her work is rooted in human connection and guided by curiosity. She blends the honesty of documentary with the clarity of editorial, creating images that feel both intentional and real.

She is especially drawn to stories about identity, representation, and belonging. Whether working with global brands, cultural institutions, or local communities, Isabell’s approach is always collaborative, built on trust, care, and creative exchange.

Her images reflect people as they are: complex, joyful, soft and strong.
