About me.
Nice to meet you! My name is Mathilde Nai and I am a fine-art portrait and editorial photographer based in Amsterdam. I graduated the Piet Zwart Institute: Lens-Based Media Masters of Fine Arts program in Rotterdam in 2023 and have a bachelor in Industrial Design Engineering.
I’ve been featured in Vogue twice and was the sole photographer of the Duvel is Oud exposition in de Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam. I also shot a large portion of the portraits for a social project for Huis Ten Bosch, initiative of Queen Maxima and the photos for the Vietnamese cookbook “An Com” by Phi-Yen Phan (release May 2024).
You can approach me for editorial work, events, weddings and portraits!
My work
I would describe my work as high-energy cinematic stills with a daydreamy, whimsical, magical realism quality to them. I love playing with the imperfect spontaneity of movement in my photographs, creating snapshots of a moment in time.
My biggest inspirations are magical slice-of-life anime such as Kiki’s Delivery Service, Totoro and Your Name to name a few and Christopher Doyle’s dramatic and moody aesthetic in the Wong Kar Wai movies such as In the Mood for love and Fallen Angels.

As of right now my pricing is tailored to your unique needs and requests, but I will add pricing packages for weddings, engagements shoots and corporate portraiture soon! Don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.
-
Yes! While I am based in Amsterdam, I have worked for clients internationally. If you have an enquiry outside of the Netherlands, I am more than happy to discuss working with you!
-
For my clients’ convenience I have a portable studio that I can take and set up on location. Which means that I can travel to your office to take your portraits instead of everyone having to travel for me!
