Pascal Rafael Photography

My name is Pascal and I am a portrait, fashion & editorial photographer based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Join me on this creative and joyful journey.

Together we will create a memorable portrait or project which we can be proud of. Beauty within humans inspires me immensely; be it their innocence, the complexity of their emotions or even the imperfections us humans are insecure about. Beauty is often taken for granted or just simply unseen. Although one says: “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”, I aspire to be the eyes and capture your beauty with my camera in a portrait for you to witness and to treassure. You can find me and my camera in my home-studio and I will create your own spotlight. If you choose to shoot on location, either in- or outdoors, that could be arranged very well. I would like to thank you for your interest in my gallery where I provide an impression of my work. Not only do I hope to inspire you, but I also look forward to connect with you, share ideas and to create something beautiful together. Looking forward to getting in touch!

Every creative brings something different to the table.

A skill. A perspective. A feeling. A piece of the vision.

For Mystic Beauty, each contribution became part of something bigger. A multidisciplinary artwork where photography, 3D design, fashion design, styling, hair, make-up, lighting, performance and sound come together.

We’re introducing the creatives behind the project and sharing the part they played in bringing Mystic Beauty to life.

This is their piece of the vision.

Meet the makers behind Mystic Beauty.

Mystic Beauty was born from a shared vision between:

Digital Artist | Art Director ASHKAN Ashkan Galehdari

Being a photographer is only part of the job. 📸

Photographer. Creative director. Retoucher. Marketer. Salesperson. Content creator. Planner. Social media manager… and somehow also the CEO. 😂

Running a creative business means wearing a lot of hats.

Which one are you wearing today?

One artwork. One shared vision. And this is what I brought to Mystic Beauty.

For me, it was about bringing my perspective, my craft and my creative energy into this multidisciplinary art project. A unique project that brings photography, 3D design, fashion design, styling, hair, make-up, lighting, performance and sound together to create a world that exists somewhere between reality and imagination

I’m proud of the part I played, but even more proud of what we created together.

This is my piece of the vision.

PASCAL - PHOTOGRAPHER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR

‘It’s about crafting a world where realism and artistry coexist’

ASHKAN - DIGITAL ARTIST & ART DIRECTOR

‘This is where it begins. An Idea. A desire to explore uncharted paths of creativity, to push the boundaries of what’s possible’

ALIREZA - FILMMAKER

‘Every frame, every detail, is blending together to make something unreal, become more realistic’

ROBERT - LIGHT SPECIALIST

‘We have to be careful where the shadows falls or how somebody is being sculpted.

TATI - MODEL

LUCA - FASHION DESIGNER

‘Garments are more than just fabric. It’s an expression. It’s a story. It’s almost like...like a way of life’

ANNA - COLOR ANALYST

‘Finding the right fabric and the color tone in which the model becomes her most beautiful self’

SANJAY - HAIR ARTIST

‘The hairstyle must counter that energy, bringing a contrast that lets the model shine without overwhelming the composition’

‘It’s very important to make sure that she feels like she belongs to that final scene’

From fashion and styling to hair, make-up, lighting,

Mystic Beauty is a multidisciplinary art project that brings photography, 3D design, fashion design, styling, hair, make-up, lighting, performance and sound together to create a world that exists somewhere between reality and imagination.

At the heart of the final artwork is a figure standing within an otherworldly garden, framed by flowing fabric and classical architectural elements. Warm, dreamlike tones transform the scene into something familiar yet surreal. A moment that feels almost suspended in time.

The artwork is not completely still. Subtle movement runs through the organic matter, bringing the scene to life: flowers, grasses and foliage gently shift and breathe, creating a quiet sense of natural movement within an otherwise dreamlike environment. These delicate details invite the viewer to look closer and discover that the image is constantly, almost imperceptibly, evolving.

Sound design plays an important role in this experience. Rather than simply accompanying the visual, the soundscape helps establish the atmosphere and draw the viewer deeper into the world of Mystic Beauty. Subtle layers of sound complement the movement and create a sense of presence, making the artwork feel less like a static image and more like a living, immersive moment.

Mystic Beauty is ultimately about what can emerge when different creative disciplines meet without boundaries. Each contributor brings their own perspective, craft and talent to a shared vision, resulting in a final piece where photography, digital art, movement and sound become one.

Where reality ends, imagination begins…

One vision. Multiple creative worlds. One shared creation.

Mystic Beauty began with an idea to bring photography, 3D design, fashion design, styling, hair, make-up, lighting, performance and sound together and see what could emerge when the boundaries between disciplines start to disappear.

What you see in the final artwork is only the beginning.

Behind it are countless decisions, experiments, conversations and creative contributions, all coming together to create som

POV: You have enough good photos to post for months… and still post nothing. 😂

My hard drive is basically an overstuffed shed. 🫠
Hundreds of photos I genuinely love, buried somewhere between screenshots, BTS clips and random nonsense.

And somehow… “later” never comes.

Photographers, tell me I’m not alone. 😅

Follow me for more photography life, behind-the-scenes & the struggle of actually posting the work. 📸

Mystic Beauty is about pushing beyond the still image and creating a world somewhere between reality and imagination.

And now, we’re finally ready to share it with you.

The theme is… ART.
Not just what you see.
But what you feel.

And honestly, I don’t want to make “just photographs.”
