About me

Kayleigh Groenendijk - Artist in Amsterdam

In a world full of noise, I want to offer moments of stillness and presence. To me, photography is a form of counterbalance - between the part of me that loves the rush of corporate marketing life, and the part that longs for peace and connection with the world.

My images are the same—a quiet invitation to slow down. To offer stillness in a world that’s always running.

I’ve always thrived on momentum. Sharp-minded, driven, always chasing the next thing.

But eventually, I craved a different rhythm. I needed distance. Not to escape, but to make space for both pace and pause. Photography became my pause button, my way to breathe.

I chose to work freelance, to live in cycles, to gather new perspectives. To move all in for months, then step away. Travel. Hike. Wander. Photograph.

It was during long hikes in Asia, and my first safari in South Africa, that something shifted. I discovered a new flow, where movement and awareness merged, where time softened, and my presence returned.

Out there, far from boardrooms and targets, I remembered how to simply be.

That’s where my images are born, on empty roads, golden hours, silent trails, and in the quiet gaze of the wild.

With photography, I move slow, I follow instinct. I capture what doesn't try too hard.

Just real, unfiltered moments.

My style is cinematic, intimate, honest. Images that don't shout, but stay with you. That offer space.That breathe.

I photograph to remember what matters. To create moments that feel like a deep breath in a world that’s always running.

Each frame is a conversation between the part of me that loves the rush, and the part that longs for presence.

My images are a quiet invitation to do the same.

To slow down.
