"About me? Well as a photographer it's never about me, but it's about you. Nevertheless I take this moment to introduce myself to you
I am Jeroen Noordzij, a wedding, fashion and portrait photographer working across the globe. From a wedding on a beautiful island near Cambodia to an editorial in the crowded New York Streets."
“Together with you as a client it’s my goal to document your wedding, your brand, or your editorial, in the most pure, unique and fashionable way. My work can be best described as timeless and elegant, with the ability to capture raw and unfiltered emotions.
What started at a dream, is now home. It started with a little holiday at Borgo Del Balsamico and it quickly escalated to a photographic opportunity that ended with an amazing publication in Vogue Living. And now after a couple of years it’s time to let others join in this beautiful experience and use this ‘heaven on earth’ as the base of my first photography workshop in Italy in collaboration with Borgo Del Balsamico.
In a two day workshop we’re going to dive into the world of lifestyle photography, using natural light as your companion to create beautiful stories, talking goals and dreams for you as a photographer and even talk about technical stuff such as editing. We’re gonna lose ourselves in the beautiful gardens of Borgo Del Balsamico, drive through the hills of Italy to capture a sunset picnic and visit a beautiful old Italian city to finish the story.
Storytelling at its finest, chasing light and chasing moments. See you in Italy
I’m the second after Gabriele Balsilico to have taken a picture of Mr Crotti … the most difficult and private part of the Family.”

A Balm for the Soul

The workshop will be conducted in English
€ 1300 – All Inclusive
Betty Soldi Studio is a calligraphy and design agency with consultancy projects ranging from packaging to brand content, creative thinking to art direction.
Located in the heart of Florence, Italy, Betty Soldi’s unique and original calligraphy style combines a heritage of design references with modern intellect for emotionally compelling branding, graphic design communication, lifestyle objects, stationery and creative collaborations, engaging skilled, like-minded collaborators for custom projects and sensorial “ink experiences.”
“The production of vinegar, like handwriting, is an alchemical process.
From raw materials, bacteria and little more, with time, care and experience you get a wonderful liquid, a perfect example of balance of flavours.
Thus writing transforms invisible thoughts into visible words by passing from our head through our hands to write at the level of the heart.
Betty Soldi Studio in collaboration with Il Borgo del Balsamico offers a calligraphic Inksperience dedicated to the importance of time and inner transformation through handwritten words.
The workshop will be divided into two parts, the first time to rediscover the familiarity with the gesture of writing and all its nuances.
The second, after a visit to the Il Borgo vinegar factory, will focus on personal transformation and the importance of nourishing our inner self to let our creative side blossom.
Only through attention to the passage of time and our ability to grasp and notice the elements that surround us are we able to transmute and make the wonderful raw material that resides in each of us flourish.”
