Princess Amalia celebrates her 20th birthday today, and the government public relations office, Rijksvoolrichtingsdienst (RVD), released new portrait photos of the crown princess to mark the occasion. The pictures were taken in Noordeinde Palace by renowned contemporary photographer, Gemmy Woud-Binnendijk, who specializes in creating photographs that appear more like paintings.
Famed filmmaker and photographer Anton Corbijn was handed the task of taking the new State portraits of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. The photographs mark the ten-year anniversary of Willem-Alexander’s reign the Dutch monarch. Only one of the eight images features the couple in Corbijn’s well-known black-and-white style. The piece was an additional photograph of the couple shot on film, the government press office said in a statement.
