Electric Dreams Studio (officially operating as ElectricDreams) is a Dutch photography studio, creative production space, and visual art collective based in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, South Holland. Founded in 2023, it has grown into a distinctive force within the Benelux alternative photography, fine-art portraiture, and subculture creative scenes.
At the heart of Electric Dreams Studio lies a clear artistic philosophy: creating bold, atmospheric imagery that is rooted in real-world craftsmanship and authentic human collaboration. The studio is widely recognized for its signature use of high-contrast lighting, retro-inspired aesthetics, neon accents, and immersive LED-driven visual environments. These elements combine to produce striking, cinematic imagery that is both modern and timeless.
A defining aspect of the studio is its commitment to the #noai movement. Electric Dreams Studio explicitly focuses on in-camera artistry, prioritizing genuine photographic techniques over artificial intelligence-generated imagery. This includes experimental lighting setups, UV and blacklight body painting, smoke and texture integration, and carefully constructed studio environments that emphasize the physical reality of the photographic process.
Operating under the philosophy “Samen is beter” (“Together is better”), the studio approaches every project as a collaborative creative exchange. Models, photographers, and artists are encouraged to actively contribute ideas, shaping each shoot into a shared artistic experience. This approach fosters an environment where creativity can evolve organically, resulting in imagery that feels both intentional and deeply expressive.
Electric Dreams Studio offers a wide range of creative services, including fine-art portrait sessions, conceptual studio productions, and alternative fashion photography. The studio has become a key hub for subculture modeling and artistic portraiture across Europe, regularly working with models from the gothic, fetish, fantasy, and performance art communities. Collaborators have included a diverse roster of creatives such as Jill Dewyn, Earthly Faery, Sammy Terra, Puck Wal, and Somi Nuwa, among many others.
In addition to its studio work, Electric Dreams Studio is highly active in education and community development. It hosts photography workshops and guided creative sessions designed to teach lighting techniques, model direction, and studio composition. These events provide both emerging and experienced photographers with hands-on experience in a professional studio environment.
The studio also organizes international photography trips, including structured creative excursions such as its recurring Prague Photo Trips. These projects extend its collaborative philosophy beyond the studio walls, bringing photographers and models together in new environments to create unique visual stories.
Beyond still photography, Electric Dreams Studio also functions as a production location for commercial and artistic video projects, including music videos for independent artists. Its adaptable studio environment allows for a wide range of creative productions, from minimal portrait setups to fully immersive conceptual shoots.
Located at Dok 7 in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, within the Rotterdam–Dordrecht region, Electric Dreams Studio operates as both a physical space and a digital creative hub. It manages bookings, event planning, and portfolio archiving through its official platform and maintains an active presence within the creative community via its social channels.
With nearly two decades of experience, Electric Dreams Studio continues to stand as a leading European creative space, dedicated to collaboration, craftsmanship, and the power of real-world photographic artistry.

Puck Wal is framed like a living album cover, placed inside a neon drenched room where color feels almost physical. She sits elevated on a table, composed yet unapologetically present, her posture balancing between stillness and attitude. Shiny boots catch the red and purple glow around her, reflecting the light in sharp fragments that add to the surreal, stylized atmosphere. Her outfit reads like a bold editorial statement, sleek and minimal but charged with intent, merging fashion with something more transgressive and cinematic. The lighting does not simply illuminate her, it transforms her into part of the set itself, as if she has been designed into the environment rather than placed within it. The background pulses with saturated tones, shifting between neon warmth and deep violet haze, creating a dreamlike stage that feels closer to video art than reality. There is a subtle intensity in the composition, where glamour and edge coexist without apology.

The yellow tones stand out like a signal against the atmosphere, bright and almost electric, paired with delicate chain details that add an edge of rebellion to the softness of the pose. Her gaze meets the viewer directly, calm yet confrontational, as if she knows exactly how much attention she commands. It feels like a modern pop-art dream filtered through chaos and beauty, where fashion, attitude, and energy collide into a single striking image. Bold, expressive, and unapologetically vivid in its presence.
Jill DeWyn is captured in a stark, intimate frame that feels both raw and intentionally composed, like a polaroid stolen from a private moment. Against a deep black background, her silhouette becomes the entire focus, shaped by soft light that traces every curve with quiet precision. She is positioned with a confident openness, turned away from the viewer in a pose that feels more expressive than explicit, more about control and presence than anything else. Her long dark hair falls naturally down her back, adding softness to the strong lines of her posture. The simplicity of the setting removes all distraction, leaving only form, contrast, and attitude. There is a subtle theatrical quality in the pose, almost like an arabesque frozen mid-performance, where movement has been paused just long enough to become art. The result is a blend of vulnerability and power, framed in a way that feels both personal and deliberately styled, like a memory captured in low light and held too long to forget.
The image feels like a fragment pulled from a neon dream where Angelica stands suspended between smoke and starlight. A soft glow radiates from her chest like a secret engine of light, cutting through the darkness with an almost cosmic warmth. In one hand she holds a cigarette, its ember briefly echoing the surrounding neon haze, as if fire and electricity are quietly talking to each other. Behind her, the night opens into something vast and surreal, a sky that feels less like atmosphere and more like deep space spilling forward. Stars scatter across the scene in soft particles, blurring the line between city glow and galaxy dust. Everything is saturated, heightened, slightly unreal, like a memory that refuses to fade properly. There is a calm defiance in her pose, a cinematic stillness that turns the whole composition into a poster-like vision of modern myth. Seductive, luminous, and strangely celestial all at once.

Resting on the bed in delicate black lingerie, she carries a quiet intensity, her pose relaxed yet deliberately composed, as if she is fully aware of the camera but chooses stillness over performance. The neon light behind her spills across the scene in soft waves of blue and synthetic glow, outlining her silhouette and giving her presence an almost holographic quality. Her gaze feels direct yet distant, while a subtle gesture near her lips adds a layer of intrigue, like a secret held just out of reach.

It is sensual without excess, atmospheric without effort, like a still frame pulled from a neon dream you are not sure you were meant to see.
Miss Maya emerges from deep shadow, her presence defined by the soft glow of blue light spilling from behind her like a quiet halo. The darkness around her is absolute, turning the scene into something intimate and almost sacred, where every highlight feels deliberate and sculpted. A tattoo rests across her chest like a personal emblem, partially revealed in the low light, adding a sense of story beneath the stillness. The color palette is restrained yet intense, with deep blues shaping her silhouette and giving her skin an ethereal contrast against the void. There is a renaissance-like composition to the frame, as if classical portraiture has been reimagined through a modern lens of neon and minimalism. She stands alone, steady and composed, her gaze and posture suggesting calm control within an abstract, glowing darkness that feels both timeless and slightly futuristic.

The surrounding darkness is broken by an electric blue haze that feels almost liquid, as if the air itself has turned fluid around her presence.

The atmosphere carries a cyberpunk edge, where reality and digital space blur together into something luminous and slightly unreal. Light seems to drift and shimmer around her like distant stars seen through water, creating a dreamlike sense of depth and weightlessness. It feels intimate yet futuristic, like a private moment unfolding inside a neon universe. A portrait of still attention, where technology becomes atmosphere and the human figure becomes the quiet center of a glowing, shifting world.
