Always nice to see your own photography work in an official catalog. Elan Snowboards featuring Dutch Veroniqi Hanssen.

Today marks a great day, a day that I’m pretty proud about! It’s day 365 of my project to publish a daily photo to my website and social presence online. It’s been a pretty remarkable road with loads of ups and downs and while I didn’t manage to do real every day publishes for 365 days, I’ve always made up …

My daily photo project is still running (almost completed for 1 year!) and to keep things interesting and challenging for myself I decided to really focus on creating some good Black & White photos. Before this learning curve it was all pretty simple. Whenever I wanted a Black & White photo I just clicked the button in Adobe Lightroom and …

At the moment I’m in Egypt for a 2 week vacation with the family. Vacation is a big word, the only thing that’s different for me is the fact that I’m now in Egypt.

While it sometimes wasn’t easy in the first few weeks to get started and create a photo, nowadays that part is the easy part. The only problem that has occurred is that I want to create higher and higher quality photos each day. I used my …

For me creating a photo is all about creativity and the enjoyment I get out of it. While most of my work is being done for fun, it also delivers ‘marketing’ material to my company Shark Cartel of our team riders and events we go to. And even to a smaller percentage, I’ve done work for external customers who are …

You have to know what you are photographing. If you photograph an athlete in action you have to show why that moment is a great moment. You need to put the photo into perspective. If you understand a certain movement, trick, it’s clear to you why it’s a great movement. You only will understand it if you understand the sport …

A thought came over me today. I was thinking about photography vs videography and how one helps the other. For me extreme sports photography is to capture an unique moment in a movement. A moment that has all the energy in the movement in it and gives you the feeling that that moment is the essence of the movement. Now after some …
