About us
Young and passionate eyes Serious about photograph
We’re a team of photographers and creatives who genuinely care about what we make, and the people we make it with.
We believe a good photograph comes from feeling comfortable, having fun, and creating a memory worth keeping. Premium photography aren’t reserved for big productions. Your everyday stories, your travels, your people and your memories deserve the same creative attention.
That’s the kind of photography we believe in — and the reason we built 21’s Lightspot.

MEET THE TEAM
21’s started small — just two friends taking photos together. Somewhere along the way, more creative minds joined, more people stepped in front of our cameras, and a little side project became the team we are today.
Zoey
Founder & Photographer
With a background in portrait photography and film studies, Zoey brings a storyteller’s eye to people and emotion, creating images that feel natural, personal and thoughtfully composed.
Yang

With 7+ years of photography experience, Yang knows how to bring out the best in people. He’s a great listener, understands what clients want, and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Luxin

With a professional background in business and economics and a deep interest in art, Luxin brings both structure and creativity to her photography. She has an intuitive eye for color and captures portraits with care and precision.
Piper

Growing up in a family of photographers, Piper found photography at an early age. With a background in film, art and performance, she brings a storyteller’s eye and thoughtful attention to every moment.
Ding

With a professional background in design in Tokyo, Ding brings a thoughtful and intentional eye to photography. Every frame is carefully considered, from composition to the smallest details.
Our Philosophy
Experience
The experience begins before the camera comes out.
Long before a shoot begins, we explore the city, discover its hidden corners and thoughtfully curate each route.
Over the years, we’ve built an intimate knowledge of Amsterdam — its light, locations and possibilities — along with the experience and resources to bring different ideas to life.
For us, a photoshoot should be something to enjoy: time spent with your partner, family, friends, pets, or simply yourself.
The photographs are there to preserve a moment that already felt worth remembering.
Quality
Quality without the unnecessary premium.
We believe high-quality photography shouldn’t be reserved for large commercial productions or come with an inflated price simply for the idea of “professional photography.” Great work comes from the right combination of craft, thoughtful equipment and attention to detail.
We work with the latest full-frame camera systems, practise and develop our craft together, and keep the entire creative process within our team. Every image is edited directly by our photographers — the same people who met you, photographed you and understand how you want to be seen. No outsourced editing, no disconnected production line.
Our goal is simple: professional quality, made accessible at a price that makes sense.
People
We care as much as you do.
We know a photograph can mean far more than what’s captured in the frame. With time, it can become a reminder of a person, a relationship, a place, or a chapter of your life you never want to forget.
That’s why we treat every photograph with genuine care.
What matters to you matters to us — because we know its value may only grow with time.
