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!

Qlimax is an annual hardstyle event, held at the Gelredome, in Arnhem, Netherlands. As always there was an amzing stage so tons of fun shooting this very long night.
Line-up: A-lusion, Brennan Heart, D-Block & S-te-Fan, Deepack, Headhunterz, Isaac, Noisecontrollers, Technoboy, Noize Suppressor and hosted by MC Ruffian.
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.
Filmed with the Canon 5DmkII Video function, so click HD for extra quality.
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 ).
Because of doing a two and a half week diving report on Croatia for Duikmagazine it has been a little quiet on the updating of this website. And as there is a lot of travel coming in the next few months I will probably have this problem for a while.
For a change a small photo series on just one particular dive: the famous Blue Hole. No, not the one in Dahab (Egypt) which is literally a killerdive (dozens of people have died there while trying to outsmart common sense while scuba-diving) but a actually much nicer one located on the island Korčula. Located roughly three hours by ferry from Split this very nice island hosts some of the best diving of the region. With over twenty dive-sites to choose from we just barely scratched the surface with our three days of diving but one site really stood out: the hole…
It’s actually not just the hole itself with it’s cathedral-like lighting but also the massive and highly untouched soft gorgonians that are to be found around the hole at 35+ meters of depth. Massive pink giants that are most photographers favorites!
Well, just enjoy the photo’s and make sure to get in contact with Croatia Divers when doing some bubble-blowing over there!
By the way, the Dahab Blue Hole is amazing in this incredible William Trubridge freediving video. And thanks Eric for the modelling!
Images from a very long night (17:00 till 07:00): the 2009 edition of Q-Base at Airport Weeze. A supernice old millitary airport with plenty of old bunkers and hangars that serves as the backdrop for this yearly hardhouse festival.
Some concert images for a change. I’m normally not too much into band-photography but these guys should be an exception: Kyteman Hip Hop Orchestra! Literally, because it’s quite hard to get a decent photo of them with incredible poor lighting on stage and the whole lot of them running all over the place. Shot some extra pics and managed to get a few nice captures, please enjoy them. All are uploaded in large size so they’re pretty much ready to go for your desktop wallpaper.

Sandstone and water erosion created this Bastei view a million years ago.
Views fit for the 19th century romantics…
While en route from Prague to Dresden by bike for this article we just had to make a full stop before entering the latter city. A couple of hours (by bike) before the town lies a fantastically hidden place called Bastei: remnants of water erosion that happened a millions years ago.
What was left is an incredible landscape of 300 meter high rock pillars in what is now appropriately called Saxon Switzerland. It is actually one of the oldest mass tourist attractions on the continent and it’s easy to see why. You really cannot prepare for the vistas that are to be expected when taking the 45 minute walk to the top.
Hi-res Panorama of Bastei
In 1824 a wooden bridge was built that had to be upgraded to a sandstone one: the Basteibridge that is still in use today and is a monument to the building qualities of that day. Not surprisingly the place was highly favored by the romantics of the period like Casper Friedrich and Hans Christian Andersen. Going there is literally stepping back into the 19th century. That is if you can avoid the crowds by going up in a light drizzle, which also helps getting some spectacular low clouds in the picture. Stay in the village of Rathen if you’re not into rushing it, nice views and plenty of little restaurants which aren’t too packed after dusk sets in (and the tourbusses are gone).
View from the 150+ year old Bastei Bridge.
