On the edge of your seat — Se7en x Studio Baybee

Some spaces tell you everything about a person. Britt’s is one of them.

Britt van der Kampen is a photographer and art director based in Eindhoven. She runs Studio Baybee, her own creative space where she shoots, thinks, and creates. It’s warm, colourful, and completely hers.

A place where you’re allowed to create.

The studio isn’t only a workspace. For Britt, it’s about a feeling. “I want this space to feel warm,” she says. “That people feel welcome. That you feel like you’re allowed to be here. Allowed to create here.”

Prints are everywhere around her, the first thing you see when you walk in. They set the tone. They give you an immediate sense of what she makes and how she thinks. For Britt, seeing her work become something physical and tangible matters. It’s part of why this place feels the way it does.

She thinks in images. All the time.

Photography isn’t something Britt turns on and off. It just flows through her. “When I see something beautiful, I immediately want to capture it. Or I start visualising right away: what if I were here with this model, wearing these clothes? And then I already see the whole image in my head.” Once the idea is there, she makes it happen. Every time.

Making things and passing it on.

What drives Britt isn’t just the work itself. It’s what her work can do for other people. She genuinely can’t imagine not being creative. “I honestly wouldn’t know another way.” she laughs. But underneath that, there’s something real: if she can get someone else to create, that means just as much to her as her own work does.

Seated on a Charly, surrounded by everything she’s made, she’s exactly where she needs to be.
