Hi, I am Bart-Jan, (digital) designer, Photographer & tinkerer.
I’ve been a visual maker for about 25 years, working as a digital designer by day and exploring the world around me through a lens, preferably at dawn.
I’ve worked as a photographer on the side, shooting portraits and teaching workshops, but I’ve (mostly) returned to photography as a hobby — it’s nice having hobbies that are just that.
About me
A curious person in general, my interests are broad — from design in many shapes and forms to tinkering with various creative outlets, books, politics, quiet outdoors and loud music.
I grew up in Apeldoorn in the East of the Netherlands, but moved The Hague at the coast over 20 years ago, where I still live today, together with our family of four and a labradoodle named Koos.
As a photographer, I am fascinated by the magic of everyday places and scenes. I love going out early around sunrise or in the hours before sunset, when the light is soft and the world gentle.
The Photographers
Club
Somewhat accidentally, I founded The Photographers Club (TPC) community a few years ago, after casually inviting fellow photographers to join me on photowalks. With TPC, we connect locally through Whatsapp communities and inspire each other to go out (together) and enjoy photography.
