Zetske van Pletzen is daughter to veteran actress- & actor, Pierre van Pletzen & Elzette Maarschalk, but an actress in her own right. Zetske has the wonderful combination of strong lines & dark & striking features and has that magic that she brings with her to the studio. Some people just have that inherent ability to make our work so much easier; they just know how to turn their head, arch their back, open their shoulders, or turn their chin just that smidge this- or that way for the right look, and Zetske is one such a perfect model.

She loves acting, & her stage- & on-set camera experience is probably what gives her such a great aire in a photo shoot, and getting those stills of her that make you feel you’re being drawn into what she portrays outwards, is what makes it such a success: she just knows how.

I’ve had the chance to shoot with her a few times now, both in the studio & in natural light, & I’ve thoroughly enjoyed both situations. I enjoy the studio as preference, because of the control one has to light specific & strategic areas, and where one could make sure to put light in dark places such as raven hair like which Zetske has.

She has such a great ladylike- & always-smiling personality, & she has that unique ability to be herself in front of the camera, whether she’s laughing spontaneously, or being more sensual & serious.

She definitely has the potential to become a classical beauty & a remarkable actress.
