Hoi!

I'm Jeroen and this page is all about my passion - photography. 

I love the light of an endless summer evening, the darkness of an upcoming storm, the roughness of the sea & the mountains. I'm addicted to this earth, to the wind on my skin, to the sun & rain on my face and to the beauty of nature. I document love & life in the way how I feel it with passion, chaos, courage & kindness.

Please have fun, love light, take pictures & enjoy mine!

Some Advice.

Take risks. Take more risks. 

Be heartbreakingly vulnerable with the world and your art. 

Don’t take yourself too seriously. Be curious. 

Call bullshit on safety and face your fears daily.

Don’t be afraid of the unknown. Discovery only happens in the unknown. 

Do your work. Always do your work. Even when it’s shit.

Keep doing it.

Because making lots of bad art is the only way to get to a place where you’ll one day make great art.

Failure is a much more faithful teacher than immediate success (which usually isn’t what it seems).

Look at, and study, the work of the masters.

Form strong opinions about that work, and be willing to change them. 

Look at the world with all your senses; seeing is about perception and that’s a whole-being kind of thing.

Experience life, don’t just shoot it.

You can’t photograph well what you haven’t experienced.

Colour outside the lines and ignore the so-called rules.

Look for principles instead; they last longer and serve us better. 

Lastly, through all that, learn your craft, and be so good at it that no one can ignore you.

But never confuse craft for art.

One is a means, the other an end.

Your best work will always be ahead of you. It’s true now, and it’ll be true in 25 years.

We never “arrive.” There is only the winding, beautiful journey as we chase our changing vision and the muse that’s always a few steps ahead, just disappearing around unexpected corners.
