Hi, I'm Caroline
I'm Caroline, a photographer since 2010 and a pole dancer since 2012. Through PixCel.fr, I combine both passions to create high-quality photography for pole dance, silks, and hoop.
My first pole dance photoshoot in 2012 sparked a passion for capturing the beauty, strength, and artistry of aerial performers. Guided by an experienced photographer and years of practice, I developed the style and expertise behind PixCel.fr.
Based in Veldhoven, I am French and Dutch and speak both languages fluently.
History
I've been interested in photography since I was eight years old, taking pictures with disposable cameras and keeping that passion alive. In 2010, I joined the photo-club at my university in Eindhoven, where I learned the technical details of this art and received valuable feedback that helped me develop my own style.
In 2012, I discovered pole-dancing and became quickly hooked on this fantastic sport. It's such a complete workout that's also fun and empowering. Sometimes, I take aerial-hoop or silk courses, and I've always loved acrobatic shows. But since I started practicing these disciplines myself, I have a greater admiration for the acts, as I realise the difficulty and control required.
That same year, I decided to blend my two passions and specialise in aerial arts photography while getting coached by a professional photographer. Over the years, I've invested in my own equipment, learned from various workshop and created countless images in studios, outdoors, and on location at dance schools and events.
Since then, I've had the opportunity to photograph many (pole-)dancers, and I feel grateful to have worked with the best pole-athletes in Europe. My dream is to work with Cirque du Soleil artists or photograph their show. Who knows what the future holds!
Currently, I'm working on a photo exposition and have a few photo projects to unveil, in addition to event bookings and private photoshoots. I have too many ideas and too little time, but I love being able to create beautiful images, make people happy with them, and work with great aerial artists.
PixCel.fr is a name invented as a combination of "Pix" and "Cel". Pix comes from pictures/pixel and Cel from a nickname I often use on internet. As a french expat in the Netherlands, I chose .fr for an extension. Back then I though it was a funny insider word-joke. Now I realised how hard it is for people to spell or just say it right. I'll go toward "Photography by Caroline Demey" eventually, but now everyone know me as the photographer behind PixCel.fr :)
