Milou Olijslager

I’m a concert and live music photographer based in Amsterdam, working across pop, indie and alternative scenes. Over the past few years I’ve developed my work through photographing concerts from within the crowd, while building a growing portfolio focused on live performance imagery.

Alongside photography, I’ve spent several years working backstage in live music environments, which has given me a strong understanding of how shows come together and how to move around artists and crews in a professional way.

My style is clean, editorial and performance-focused. I aim to capture artists at their best on stage, with attention to lighting, atmosphere and the overall visual identity of a show. My work is often shaped with both editorial use and audience/social impact in mind.

I’m also interested in the way visuals influence perception and storytelling around artists, which connects to my background in psychology and marketing.
