Tinleaf Photography aims to capture and create beauty inspired by day to day life.

I, Louise van Aarde, have a passion for people and their stories, capturing beautiful glimpses and moments of your story. I have a very relaxed approached and work mostly with natural light in the genres of Lifestyle photography and contemporary portraiture.

I have now been part of this rich and beautiful hot pot of Dubai for over 5 years. It was our families move to the UAE that gave me the opportunity to design a whole new career for myself. And the obvious choice, without a doubt was Photography.

Photography for me is not only a skill but one of the most divers forms of artistry. People and especially families, being my preferred subjects. I love how the individuality of each person contributes to the end-result. I believe that the images created is the combined creative result of the subject and the photographer.

I love how what I do gives me the opportunity to meet wonderful people and to share in the memories and special moments that gives colour to their lives.
