As part of the rebranding of &C Media, the platform founded by TV personality Chantal Janzen, I developed a renewed print DNA, supported by a complementary visual language that feels contemporary, layered, and refined.
I created multiple creative concepts and led the on-set direction for the first rebranded photoshoots. These ideas were brought to life in collaboration with leading photographers, stylists, and make-up artists, and through the energy, openness, and creative input of the talent in front of the camera.

A brand new &C Magazine
For our first new cover, we featured TV personality Chantal Janzen in a “Love Affairs” theme, photographed outdoors and surrounded by nature. At the heart of the concept lies a simple truth: the perfect relationship doesn’t exist. Doubt is always present, Does he love me? Do I still love him? What if this is it? These universal questions formed the narrative we set out to visualize. Chantal meets the viewer’s gaze with quiet confidence. Yet the image remains open to interpretation: is she fully convinced of her happiness, or is there uncertainty beneath the surface?
Jennifer Hofman x Oh Baby
Jennifer Hofman is preparing to welcome her second child. For Oh Baby, &C Media’s special edition for expectant parents, we capture this moment in an intimate series that portrays her with softness and romance, without tipping into sentimentality. Styled in relaxed, comfortable pieces and set within a natural, lived-in environment, the imagery unfolds as if we’re quietly following Jennifer through her day, sharing in the stillness and anticipation as she awaits her newborn.
More layered, more mature.
The new print DNA embodies a visual language that is bolder, more playful, and at the same time more mature. The updated imagery policy embraces contrasting settings, indoor and outdoor photography, feminine forms, and rich variation, all in service of compelling, narrative-driven storytelling. This approach directly supports the rebranded visual identity of &C Media: a design system built on strong, recognizable elements that is bold, scalable, and expressive across every channel.
Monica Geuze x &C Magazine
The photo shoot with Monica Geuze, on location, in the renewed format. The title of the article ‘Party for one’ symbolizes the celebration of Monica's success. After all: you have to hang your own streamers, and no one but Monica is responsible for her success. The 'party for one' has a subtle extra layer: loneliness at the top, having to make choices in success.
