Joy Bronsveld

I graduated from the University of the Arts as a theatre director and have since loved expanding my creative practice with photography, animation, graphic design, film, music and writing.

I love to design arts education for both children and adults because I believe it enriches your life profoundly to express yourself creatively. In my courses I like to create bridges between the visual arts, theatre, film and nature. I specialize in teaching storytelling, puppetry, photography and collage-art.

visual storytelling

Enter a world where every photograph tells a story, where nature-inspired aesthetics meet magical realism.

The Personal Branding Package crafts captivating imagery that speaks volumes about your brand, blending visual storytelling with the allure of the natural world. Through the Storybrand principle we’ll create visuals that resonate with your audience, conveying your story in the most compelling way possible.
Your brand isn’t just a logo or a product – it’s a tale waiting to be told, and I’m here to bring it to life through my lens.

Meanwhile, the Seasonal Magic Package offers a journey through whimsical floral wonders or autumnal landscapes. This is perfect for both pregnancy shoots, family portraits, engagement shoot or treating yourself to a personal fairytale adventure. 

Coming soon: the Painterly Portrait Package offers timeless portraits in the style of old masters like Rembrandt. Within the comfort of my studio, indulge in the richness and depth of classic artistry, available for booking throughout the year.

Let me help you transform your creative visions into reality, painting your dreams with the vibrant hues of my lens. I don’t just capture moments; I create art that evokes emotion and sparks imagination.

Photoshoots can be both in English & in het Nederlands! 
Photoshoots are located in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, the Netherlands. 

 

Writing

I believe our stories are what makes life meaningful. 

Stories always know how to find me. Maybe they have an internal compass to navigate towards the curious and courageous. Those who dare to venture into worlds unknown and welcome transformational journeys. 

Throughout my life, I’ve explored various forms of storytelling, from short stories and poems to songs, theatre scripts, and my first picture book. Recently, I’ve been honing my skills in screenwriting. I’ve always felt drawn to the magic of cinema and love crafting narratives for the screen.

Storytelling helps me to recognize the beauty and magic in everything around me. I’m a firm believer that stories have the power to move mountains within us. They lift our spirit and ignite hope. Stories have the capacity to expand our horizons and challenge our perspectives
They make us grow and shift as the plot unfolds.

My first picture book, called ‘De Bergwachter’ is planned to be published in December 2024.

In the meantime, I’m immersed in another magical children’s book project, which I look forward to sharing with you when the time is right.

Theatre

& Puppetry

As a theatermaker I specialize  in puppetry, shadow theatre, live-film and miniature worlds. I perceive theatre as a canvas for visual storytelling with the aim to evoke a sense of wonder in the audience. 

From crafting miniature worlds to manipulating puppets and exploring the shadowplay, my creative journey begins in the studio and unfolds on the stage.

In my plays, I seek to uncover the magic of theatre, revealing both its mechanics and its enchantment simultaneously.

Puppetry and object theatre, with their ability to breathe life into the inanimate, captivate me with their transformative power. Infusing each performance with a touch of poetry, whimsy and wonder.

Since introducing live-film to the theatre stage, I’ve been eager to explore filmmaking infused with theatrical magic.


Every short film I create is intricately linked to my online courses. I strive to enrich the course content through the art of storytelling. I firmly believe that stories are the most effective conduits for learning, which is why I employ metaphors and construct immersive story worlds around my courses.

Visionary

Visionary is a soulful ocean adventure, guiding you to rediscover your dreams and authentic magic amidst life's challenges, set against the backdrop of a seaside lighthouse, navigating the waters of limited beliefs.

“I absolutely loved this course. It gently nudged me to dive deeper into areas of my life and work, my dreams and goals, and my self-limiting beliefs.”
Ariana
“The footage of the animation-videos in this course is beautiful. The metaphor of sea, ship and lighthouse is easy to follow and makes me curious about what can be found on my own horizon.”
