It is always nice to work with Jeroen (Sybarite). He is able to make the whole team feel at ease and bring out the best in everyone. He is professional, friendly and a true host. Nothing too serious, but still focused on the goal. A beautiful conceptual shoot, where making art is the approach.

He is creative in coming up with new themes and finding suitable locations in order to get the best result.

Jeroen is highly recommended to work with.

Fantastic weekend shooting with the Sybarite team! I felt so comfortable and welcomed into their home straight away and they cooked meat free for me all weekend which I really appreciated. We had great shoots both inside and outside during the storm which was so much fun! I can’t wait to see the photos. Thanks so much to all of you I would love to work together again sometime

Big huge thanks to Marja and jeroen for an amazing few days.

Me and my fiend kitty quinzell stayed with marja and Jeroen fo a few days during our tour In the Netherlands. They are the most lovely and welcoming people and I can’t thank them enough for looking after us during our stay.

We also had the opportunity to do a photoshoot right at the end of our tour. I can’t think of a better way to end it, it was my last shoot but my favourite shoot of the whole tour. They have such great ideas to shoot. There was so many different themes to choose from and I wanted to do them all! Marja is also a very good make up artist and did my make up beautifully.

Just two lovely people creating amazing art and I can’t wait to go back and do it again sometime. Thank you sybarite

I love Marja and Jeroen!

They kindly offered me and Bobbi a place to stay on our Netherlands tour, we could not have felt more welcome, comfy beds, delicious food and amazing company.

I shot 1:1 on one day and with Bobbi as a duo on the next.

Originality is a really hard thing to come by these days, yet I think Jeroen has some truly original and unique ideas, he is so easy to work with and you can always guarantee that as long as you work hard, you will come away with fantastic images!

Marja’s makeup skills are good too and work well for the various concepts.

As soon as Im back in the Netherlands, I will be back!

So so so

Second shoot of the year with lovely Sybarite couple.

Needless to say I felt at home. Properly. They are so friendly, good to chat and be around, they made me feel comfortable at all times.. even when I jumped in the pond

Jeroen is an incredible photograph with years of experience. A real artist.

Marja is a very skilled makeup artist and both are very open, laied back and creative, that I cannot almost believe how such amazing photos have been created in such a short amount of time during the shoot.

Well more over, no only that,.. during the days I was in Holland I had a small health issue and they made sure I was fine, booking an appointment with their own doctor for me. They literally took care of me. Thank you so much 😊

I highly recommend Sybarite and I am looking forward to shooting together again.

This is going to be hard to explain just how amazing a lovely couple lie Marja & Jeroen are in a small paragraph, you really just need to just get out there and spend some time with them when you have the chance to understand!

So I arrive late at night on Friday and Jeroen is already at the station waiting for me, brings me home and from day 1 I was treated like I was part of the family. we truly just clicked and felt comfortable in each others company.

On our shoot days we would have our breakfast, talk over the ideas and what we were looking for that day and then Marja would get to work with make up and hair snd did a fantastic job transforming me in to character. We would then travel to location and get right to work! There wasn't a moment we weren't laughing, making jokes or speaking about relatable interests and life. I honestly felt like I was visiting family on holiday!!

When we were in work mode and creating the pictures, we just got right in to the zone because of the connection we made, this massively helped with achieving the winning shots....and oh my god...just wait until you see them! Jeroen is an incredible photographer, truly!!

Overall I am truly humble to of met both Marja & Jeroen and for the welcoming me in to their home. That you for a unforgettable experience and a forever lasting impression!

Can't wait to see our beautiful work! I will be back for sure, until then...look after my cats ;)

Highly highly, recommend.

Much love,

I spend the whole weekend with Marja and Jeroen. It was an amazing and one of the most creative collaborations ever.

Marja and Jeroen are wonderful hosts and super fun people to be around. We had great times shooting many different themes at their lovely home studio and few beautiful locations.

It was very productive and very pleasant weekend.

Marja is a great make up artist and Jeroen wonderful photographer.

Photos are incredible and I would love to work with them definitely again.

Haha highly recommend if you need unique and amazing quality images :)

Best wishes,

Nadia :)

I have spent a weekend with Marja and Jeoren at their place in Zwolle. Very fruitfull cooperation , I must say. We maneged to shoot 6 different themes, and the results of then are satisfying.

Professional skills and a chilled atmosphere during the shooting makes Marja and Jeoren right people to work with. But beside being good in their job, they're very hospitable and welcoming. They took care of me feeling at home, even cooked meat-free during my stay. (Thank you!)

All together, I had a good time.

I recommend to work with them to everyone interested.

Of course I hope we manage to collaborate again!

Kindly,

Karo

I had a lovely time with Marja and Jeroen last weekend when I stayed with them and shot for two days.

Jeroen is a very talented photographer who is able to get the shots very quickly so we managed to get through a lot of different sets over the weekend I spent with them. The images I've seen so far look amazing!

Marja and Jeroen were lovely to stay with. They accommodated my vegan diet and made sure I had enough to eat and drink at all times (Jeroen is an amazing cook!). I was made to feel very welcome in their home :)

I would definitely shoot with them again and I can't wait until my next trip to The Netherlands! I can't recommend them enough.

Just got back from Holland!

And WOW I had an amazing weekend shooting with Sybarite.

His works don’t need any words to add at all: his photos reflect his experience and artistic brilliant mind. The variety of locations represented on his creation reflects his thorough preparation behind shooting.

Sybarite (J&M) made me feel so comfortable at any time.

Shoots were quiet short as the quality of photos were so high that he didn’t need to click much really. This was appreciated during indoor but also during outdoor shoots, given that is January :-)

J&M took care of me well in advance asking about my needs, if any etc..

And made me feel at home during all my staying, with lots of good laughs, good food and really good time in a very cozy environment.

I can’t recommend Sybarite more highly.

If you have the chance to shoot with J&M don’t ever miss it out!

And definitely looking forward to creating more art with you.

I had a great fun shooting with Marja and Jeroen. The precommunication was clear, during the shoot they were well aware of my needs. Their ideas are fantastic and pushing out the limits, which I especially like :)

Hope to work with you again!

I stayed with Marja and Jeroen for a week during my last tour in The Netherlands. They came to pick me up from the station even though I arrived pretty late that evening. They were very welcoming and hospitable towards me during my entire time with them. Jeroen is also a very good cook. I thoroughly enjoyed all our meals together.

It was my second time shooting with Jeroen. The shoot went really well and the results were great. I suggested getting tied and hang upside down for the shoot. During the shoot, Jeroen was very careful and made my safety and comfort his utmost priority. He even went to the stage to make the ropes more comfortable for me and ensured that they were secure without compromising my safety. I do appreciate his effort.

I can't wait to meet Maja and Jeroen again on my next tour. Definitely highly recommended for the second time. :)

Thank you Marja and Jeroen. :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Marja and Jeroen during my Europe tour. I stayed for a night at their place and I am very thankful for their warm welcome and hospitality. The shoot went well in their home studio as well as the location. Jeroen is also a very skilled photographer and I am very pleased with the images we created. Communications was very clear and effective too. I can't wait to work with them again. Definitely highly recommended. :)

I had a wonderful weekend staying with Marja and Jeroen, and shot both Saturday and Sunday (with a location shoot also on the Friday evening when I arrived). They were incredibly accommodating and welcoming, even going to great lengths to make sure there was a variety of vegan food for me, and they were fantastic about offering snacks and breaks during shooting so I never felt overworked or stressed.

The images speak for themselves, and I'm incredibly pleased with the outcome of the shoots. Shooting with them was great fun, and having a home studio proved extremely useful as it rained for one of the days!

Thank you both for a wonderful weekend and I hope to shoot with you again in the future. Highly recommended.

I stayed with Jeroen and Marja for a few days and it was so lovely. They are very open and friendly and I felt so comfortable. The photos we took had very interesting styles and were very beautiful and artistic. Also food = 5 stars. I am sad and fat to leave :(

I cannot express enough how amazing mine and Electrics stay with Jeroen and Marja was! We were welcomed into their home with friendly, open kindness which immediately erased all nerves from my mind. We then met their beautiful two cats and an adorable kitten and I instantly knew I was going to enjoy the stay :) Marja and Jeroen were generous hosts and a very creative team and their ideas to shoot were endless. Marja is a wonderful make up and hair stylist and I was very impressed with her 'erotic clown' style. Jeroen's shooting style is playful and spontaneous and he knows exactly how to get the shot he wants, I very much enjoyed working with them and cannot wait to go back :) xx

What can I say! I absolutely loved working with Marja & Jeroen. They are a lovely couple and were very hospitality during the 2 and a half day's I worked with them. They both have fantastic ideas and concepts and there is opporotunity to work in their home studio or outside on location; there are some lovely local areas around their home to shoot. Jeroen is a great photographer and Marja is a great make up artist and I very much enjoyed having my make up done especailly for the clown idea. They both are very friendly and I felt comfortable and at ease whilst working with them both. I also had the best BBQ at their house, the Venison ribs were amazing! I would totally recommend working with them both and have already discussed a second shoot with them next year. Thanks for a great time look forward to seeing the pictures! "Scarecrow fingers" x

Had a lovely shoot with Marja and Jeroen, when they stayed at my house over the weekend. We shot at some coastal locations which were familiar to me, in conditions which were difficult as it was extremely windy, but Marja was always ready at hand with my dress if I got too cold. They work together as a team very well- with Marja often playing the role of lookout- which is very helpful and practical on nude shoots! Jeroen and Marja are both lovely and friendly and professional, and the photo results I saw on the back of the camera looked beautiful- I look like I'm soaring over the Seven Sisters in my jumps. :)

Highly Recommended. :)

I met this lovely couple during there tour to the Lakes! We did a two day shoot and it flew by too quickly!

As soon as I met Jeroen and Marja we were having a good laugh and were relaxed straight away. They were both so lovely, professional and such fun to work with!

They scouted amazing locations to shoot at, which were beautiful and I was blown away with the creativity that these two had!

The communication was fantastic, the locations were amazing, the props and styles were so creative and the makeup by Marja was brilliant! Marja did my makeup both days and she was very professional and fun! Jeroen captured beautiful and creative shots in each location and directed well when required.

They both ensured I was comfortable and happy throughout the shoots we did. We reviewed the images at the end of each day and we created some gorgeous images! I was so happy with the results.

I can highly recommend working with Jeroen and Marja. They are such a wonderful couple and such great company! I hope to shoot with them again in the future as it truly was pleasure to shoot with them (and the 26 horses that photobombed us).

Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience xxx

I worked with Jeroen and Marja over a weekend in the Lake District. They were immediately very friendly and easy to get on with, making sure I had everything I needed and that would make me comfortable for our stay.

We shot in some cold and windy conditions but they always made sure that Marja was ready to run in with my coat when it got too cold and that I could have plenty of breaks to warm up in the car. This level of organisation and care, made for a very fun and enjoyable shoot. The images I saw looked great and Jeroen had some very cool ideas. Marja has a great natural make up style which really emphasises the natural features.

Basically really lovely people who I hope to work with again in the near future :)
