An interior shoot for Tulp Magazine (December 2009 issue) took me to the high-profile Noordeinde street in Den Haag. The owners of Byron&Jones and Chivasso have an amazing, 33 room, house in the center of the city which they completely redecorate every few years. What a pleasure to photograph!

Landing on a tiny mountain lake with a floatplane is a fantastic experience wherever you are. But in this weather and in one of the most stunning places on earth: Tofino, Vancouver Island, it was simply and totally unforgettable. More on this trip for ANWB REIZEN Magazine very soon.
Many thanks go out to Tofino Air for making this one hour flight possible.

Fresh from the press: a new article on Fly&Drives in Northern Thailand in the november issue of ANWB REIZEN Magazine:
Zwan – Échte momenten, échte Zwan or Real moments, Real Zwan (sausages) is the name of the new campaign for these TV-snacks. I was asked to tag along for a day while they were shooting the new and very high tech commercial (just watch the making off on the website).
High speed flying saucers sausages.
“Alex”
“Julie”
The photo’s were meant for the new website and the facebook characters, Julie and Alex, that are a integral part of the campaign. Also, one image made it to the print campaign and has probably been all over Belgium by now.
Check out the full gallery here (25 photo’s).
The whole bunch couching!
This is the actual commercial: 23 hours of taping for a 30 second piece of film.
Enjoy the Zwan website and click on “the making off” to see me in action!

I’m very happy with the new Duikamagzine (Dive Magazine) that just came out, a four page article on one of my favorite subjects of 2008: the Turtle beach at Ras al Jinz (check here for an earlier article on this website in English ).
Just a lot of photo’s to enjoy from the “Plazas of Barcelona” article for ANWB Reizen magazine. Full gallery here or start the slideshow.
Placa Catalunya, the massive square in downtown Barcelona. Filled with shoppers, people on their way from and to work and zillions of pigeons and touristst feeding them.
This has got to be my favorite square in the town: St. Maria del Mar. The church is amazing but the square is empty and boring… that is: until a wedding starts and usually one doesn’t have to wait long for that to happen.
The market of Santa Catarina is built on the old ruins of a monastery of XIII century and is a great place for photo’s like this couple having lunch.
The Parade del Gigantes also starts and finishes at this amazing Placa de St. Maria del Mar, famous for it’s Church and plentyful weddings.
Placa Virreine is a good place to chill and get some coffee as these elder people show.
In the June issue of ANWB REIZEN (Travel) a ten-page article on the best squares of Barcelona with some nice blow-up images. The opening spread is one of my favorite images from last year, one thet I really had to crawl into the crowd to get: the wedding ceremony with all the rice. Next week I hope to find some time to upload all the images from this shoot, one of my favorite ones by far as I really tried to get up close and personal with my subjects.

A weird combinatio took me all along the South African Coast and inland: sharks & hotels. A nice report on some of the nicest hotels in South Africa along the Route of the African Sun. Published in 2007 for Tulp Magazine.

Cycling from Prague to Dresden, along the Elbe, was on my mind last summer. Together with travel journalist Kees Lucassen we put on short pants, packed our cycling bags and headed out for a six-day cycling bonanza along the Czech Republic and (East) German countryside. A fantastic trip that had us enjoy two great cities, tons of sunlight, one massive downpour and one of the most stunning places I have ever been to: Rathen. Soon to be found on my site as an entry into my “favorite vies of the world”.
The article is in Dutch and was published in May 2009 in the largest travel publication in the Netherlands: ANWB REIZEN.
