Hello and thank you for taking the time to explore this photography portfolio!
At MölderMedia, we are passionate about creativity, especially when it pushes us out of our comfort zone. We thrive on (technical) challenges, and that’s when our work truly shines.
Michel's journey has taken many directions, from photography and cinemagraphs to video production and AI, all of which have shaped the foundation of MölderMedia. This diverse path has allowed him to unite a group of top professionals, each bringing their own expertise to create projects that push boundaries, both technically and creatively.
While we enjoy all types of photography, it’s the unique and daring projects that bring out our best. In this deck, you’ll find a variety of our work: photography, cinemagraphs, insights into our workflow, a personal art project, and an exciting look at how we’re integrating AI into our creative process.
Let’s dive in!
INTRODUCTION
A CHALLENGE
WORKFLOW
Not everything is perfect in one shot. By shooting multiple layers with different lighting setups, we love to combine the best out of every single take.
This way, we can focus on a single element in the frame and make sure it's perfect.
Together, we can do this with portraits, products, and everything you can think of.

LIVING PHOTOGRAPH PORTFOLIO
You’ve likely noticed by now, some of our photographs are alive. By combining photo and video, we love introducing subtle, seamless motion within a still frame. That gentle, looping movement creates the illusion of endless motion, drawing you in and holding your attention just a little longer.

PRODUCTION
Creating a cinemagraph begins with capturing still images and video footage, much like a traditional photoshoot. We then combine these elements during editing, weaving together moving layers into a smooth, seamless loop.
A well-executed cinemagraph draws your attention like a perfect still frame but has the stopping power of video.
PHOTO ANIMATION
Even a single still frame can come to life. By animating a (stock) photo and layering it with video overlays and dynamic animations, it's possible to create a result that's just as captivating and immersive.
ART PROJECT
CINEMAGRAPH ART PROJECT
In his photo studio, Michel Mölder spent over two years meticulously creating a detailed film set of a worn-down 1980s motel. Fascinated by the stories hidden within these seemingly ordinary and generic rooms, he developed the cinemagraph series Sunshine Royale Motel, bringing the vision to life with his team. Once the series was complete, all twenty-two cinemagraphs were exhibited at the iconic hotel, The Hoxton, in Amsterdam, where they were displayed on digital screens provided by Samsung, enhancing the immersive experience.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
We’re always excited to try new techniques and explore creative possibilities.
Artificial Intelligence is becoming a key tool in photography, not only making it easier to manage costs by eliminating the need for expensive locations and props, but also unlocking new creative potential.
Pushing the limits of what’s possible.
At MölderMedia, we’re all a bit of a nerd when it comes to exploring new technologies. We’ve been experimenting with AI since its early days. While we’ve always been fascinated, we’ve also been amazed by how powerful this technology has become. After two years of experimenting and staying up to date with the latest developments, we’re now confident that AI is ready for prime time. Today, you can shoot a product photo and effortlessly expand it with various backgrounds. By coaching it in the right way, AI not only combines multiple images but also enhances the blend by adjusting light, reflections, and shadows, creating interactions between foreground and background like never before. It’s a fantastic new tool to have in the box.
AI IS READY
JACK OF
ALL TRADES
