Taking an iPod Video out of the drawer in 2026 and loading it with your own music. I imagine not many people do that these days, but if you still have one: give it a try. It’s genuinely fun.
Old logos come down. Clean and dry the surfaces, then apply the new visuals. If that doesn’t create dynamic footage, I might as well do something else.
Around the holidays, employees are thanked extra for their efforts over the past year. There’s often a lot of discussion about what goes into a Christmas gift box. But what if employees could create their own? At The Beach’s Kerstpakkettenmarkt or Christmas Gift Market, it turns into a fun afternoon and evening.
Over the past 12 months, I captured footage at the Renault Academy Centre: a year in review presented in both photographs and a film edit. People. Cars. Technology and interaction. That is essentially what I wanted to capture.
Earlier, I created time-lapses of wrapping two cars at Rosenboom in Aalsmeer: the Tesla Model X and the BMW 220i. Last week, we captured footage and a time-lapse of wrapping a 13-meter-long trailer for Dutch Qargo.
Last summer I received a call from a client with an announcement that would be published a few days later in the local weekly newspapers: we are joining forces with another real estate agency.
In 2011 I began working as a real estate photographer, later adding videography and measurements services. Around 2013, in the final stages of the financial crisis, agents and sellers were genuinely interested in my craft and its contribution to stronger property presentations. The market was sluggish and every detail mattered, and craftsmanship made the difference.
For a client who creates custom hospitality interiors using reclaimed, authentic materials, I photographed this distinctive project. Every interior this client designs is unique, tailored to the space and the preferences of its users. I’ve been working with this client with great pleasure since 2018—each time capturing craftsmanship, each time a different challenge.
Last week, I had the opportunity to capture a remarkable interior project: a beautiful herringbone floor extending across no fewer than four floors. The consistent laying pattern connects the levels and creates a strong sense of unity throughout the entire home.
The introduction of a new model is always a special moment for Audi. Last month, it was time for the updated Audi A6. During the Central Launch Experience, dealership staff were given an in-depth introduction to the car. I was present as both photographer and videographer to capture the entire program.
Last month, I photographed a staff event for a major brewery: an active afternoon filled with teamwork, movement, and energy. The brief was to photograph every employee in a spontaneous and enjoyable way. A sporty setting where people could truly be themselves and that’s exactly what I love to capture: genuine moments, without fuss.
The rise of electric vehicles also means that work in the workshop is changing. Last week, I documented how technicians at Renault dealerships are trained to work on high-voltage batteries and battery systems. This was part of the quarterly and annual overviews I am currently producing.
Last week, I photographed this distinctive project for a wooden flooring supplier. In this home on the Prinsengracht, with a far-from-standard layout, a hand-scraped plank floor was installed. The choice of this material perfectly complements the character of the space, resulting in a unique and authentic outcome.
The wardrobe in this bedroom is designed to make optimal use of two walls. It has a clean, modern appearance, while incorporating several smart design solutions.
Over the past year, Renault launched a series of new models. The innovations behind these models needed to be understood by sales staff, technicians, and customer service teams.

Over the past period, I’ve photographed a variety of projects featuring oak wooden floors. I noticed that I’m not the only one who sometimes confuses different laying patterns. That’s why I’m sharing a few photos of floors in herringbone and Hungarian point patterns. Spot the differences!
Not everyone is fond of wooden floors. Sometimes I photograph homes with wooden flooring, only to hear later that the floor ended up in a container. Of course, I also know stories of people who fall in love with a wooden floor—and it doesn’t always have to be a new one. For marketing and promotional purposes, I photographed and filmed the entire renovation process of this oak herringbone floor.
The Kompastoren in Mijdrecht is a unique location featuring modern workspaces and meeting facilities. The former water tower was built in 1937 and supplied clean drinking water to Mijdrecht, Wilnis, and Vinkeveen for nearly 70 years. Today, a diverse group of entrepreneurs has taken up residence there. Here, you can view a selection of photographs documenting the ten-year journey of its redevelopment and adaptive reuse.
This Irish pub is special for several reasons. First of all, the (large) basement was only recently added to the house. The stained-glass panel in the ceiling allows daylight to filter in during the day. Another unique feature is its direct connection to the home cinema—making the outcome of the sports match on the big screen almost irrelevant.
Football club HSV ’69 in De Hoef is ready for the future following a transformation of its sports canteen. The interior has been updated with a modern design and a solid new bar. I created these photos to give an impression.

Choices in colour and materials have a strong impact on how a space is experienced. This is no different when it comes to kitchens.
For clients, I regularly work on locations with increased safety risks. These include, for example, industrial environments with machinery or heavy equipment, as well as construction sites where there is a risk of falls or tripping hazards. To raise my awareness of these risks, I completed the VCA-VOL safety course this month.
A distinctive building design that serves as a classic example of a strong first impression. A selection of images of the office and showroom of Comhan Holland in Uithoorn.

Recently, I travelled to southern France for a special assignment. A home with holiday apartments in a former monastery is being offered for sale, and for the sales presentation I created professional photographs, a film, and floor plans. The assignment felt like a true adventure. After some careful planning and organisation, I set off by car for the first 1,200 kilometres.

For this wall unit, I created detailed photographs for the furniture maker. The cabinet is installed in the living and dining area and sits against the former exterior wall after the home was extended. A dark grey finish with a subtle wood grain was chosen.
I photographed this home in September and am keen to share the images. Built in 2019 using reused building materials, the house presents a distinctive and compelling combination.

At the moment, I am photographing many properties for rental and sales presentations. Due to the number of projects, I encounter a wide variety of styles and layouts. There is no shortage of inspiration. That is precisely why I enjoy visiting so many different homes — even in times like these.
In 2009, I started my business, offering services including 360-degree photography and virtual tours. From the very beginning, I have followed developments in 360-degree cameras, 3D scanners, and the wide range of software solutions with great interest. Since the pandemic took hold of the world, I have noticed an increasing demand for a cost-effective way of virtually viewing properties. I am pleased to share my experience and insights from the past years with my clients.
Last month, I wrote about the photography of takeaway and delivery dishes. This past week, I photographed a series of pancakes in three different ways using three different cameras. The goal was twofold: on the one hand, to better understand the differences between the various methods for myself; on the other, to ensure I can offer my services as effectively and efficiently as possible. Curious how 50-megapixel Canon power compares to the cameras of an iPhone X?
Over the years, I have photographed for various hospitality entrepreneurs. At the moment, many of them are missing a significant part of their revenue. In the following way, I aim to support hospitality businesses.

Members of the Business Club and other invited guests were present. After the presentation, there was time to reflect together on the past year in a relaxed setting.
It rarely happens that I photograph the same location extensively three times within six months. All the more interesting to explain why that is exactly what happened over the past half year.

In 2012, I purchased my first drone. It was an octocopter with eight motors and could fly for approximately 11 minutes while carrying my full-frame DSLR camera. This combination weighed over four kilograms and, due to its size, prompted me to buy a small van so everything could be transported properly and securely.
For a well-known auction house, I photographed this painting in the studio. Shortly after the shoot, the artwork was restored, and the photographs helped to carefully coordinate the restoration process.
