Hello! I’m Marieke (Mar-ee-kah), the photographer behind Marieke Captures.

Born in the Netherlands, hence the funny name!, but now calling Glasgow my home.

Over the last couple years I’ve had the honour of showing 200+ people how amazing they truly are during their photoshoots.

For many years, I struggled with disordered eating and body dysmorphia, which led to my diagnosis of anorexia at the age of 20. During my recovery, I became aware of the severe negative impact that unrealistic and unhealthy bodies in photographs/media had on me and on society as a whole.

I've always had a passion for photography, and this realisation sparked an idea: what if I could combine my love for photography with a mission to promote body neutrality? By creating authentic and empowering photographs, I aim to place people at the heart of my work, leaving them feeling confident and empowered. 

We all deserve to be celebrated and documented. No matter what society has taught us to believe otherwise.
