Hans Verleur is an Amsterdam-based photographer mainly known for his lifestyle and people photography. His clients often ask for his (urban) landscapes and architectural photography, as featured in this Showcase. In every case, the light present in his images tells an important part of the story.

Hans developed the specialisation of customised image banks. In these client-specific image banks, the photography of both lifestyle, people and (urban) landscapes come together.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Marnix Postma grew up on basketball, hip-hop and graffiti.

He has a passion for expressing the distinct DNA of the brands and personalities he works with.

Marnix is based in Amsterdam.

Starting out in The Netherlands, Alexander Baks soon branched out to a variety of other countries, shooting for prestigious clients such as Hilton, Rituals Cosmetics, Pulitzer Hotel and Heineken.

Focussing more and more, but not exclusively, on the leisure and hospitality industry, big brands have taken notice of his stunning work. He recently shot a significant project for the new Hilton Schiphol Hotel and the soon to be opened Hilton Tallinn hotel in Estonia.

Alexander strives every day to create better and more appealing images for his clients. He has a huge passion and talent for capturing beautiful imagery. Whether it's creating an editorial or shooting advertising campaigns, he brings a signature style to all of his work.

Music was Otto van den Toorn's greatest passion, but after 15 years of working as a DJ/composer he decided to leave his secluded studio life behind and move into the real world.

20 years of modelling experience gave him a decent insight into the fashion business. Otto loves working and connecting with people and so established himself as a full time photographer. His work is aesthetic with the strength to make reality more powerful and beautiful.

Otto’s assignments are mostly fashion related and he has shot campaigns for brands such as BreizhWorld, Silvercreek, Nikkie.com, JoshV, Makeupstudio, MiMoneda, Lookx, M+S Cavallaro Napoli and Tramontana as well as magazines such as Talkies Magazine, LAF, SalonNV-UK, Grazia and Stylevision.

"Craftsmanship needs no fuss." At least, that’s what highly experienced photographer Bart Brussee knows. "All the more important are inspiration and a personal vision."

Bart works for major national magazines and international companies. In doing so, he chooses to keep it small: the concept, the team, the location. "To subsequently excel with a grand result! Where the light communicates and the moment is captured."

Bart masters the art of omitting in detail. Here as well, his images speak for themselves. "Read them. Each one of them tells a story. Just listen."

Sigurd Kranendonk is an Amsterdam-based still life and interior photographer who is as comfortable in his studio as he is out on location.

Obsessed with lighting, Sigurd is capable of bringing out the beauty in ordinary objects.

Recent projects include campaigns for Akzo-Nobel, promotion material for Piet Boon Group, food photography for Sanoma Media, and many more.

"As a photographer, I go anywhere. To the real cowboys in the remote areas of the United States. To rockers behind the podium. To top models in the studio. To writers in the bedroom. And wherever I am, I want to create the image that reality there rises above itself."

Coffee with caffeine, gin with tonic. Play Hard, work harder. Laughter is the key, seriousness is essential.

Life is bright even without a flash. As for photography anything is possible.

Mr. Mark Groeneveld, an Amsterdam-based photographer with 18 years of experience and creativity running through his veins.

For nearly two decades, Peter Bak has worked as a portrait, lifestyle and travel freelance photographer. Based in Rotterdam, Peter educated himself in photography while in his late 20s and decided to move to New York City where he had the opportunity to master film photography before moving on to digital.

He has a natural talent for both outdoor and location photography and is known for his dramatically lit environment portraits and intriguing travel images. He specialises in creating engaging portraits and documantery. Furthermore, he enjoys making photo reports for travel and lifestyle magazines, which is a perfect method to search for new perspectives (and avoid ordinary views) and explore exotic cultures.

When not shooting professionally, Peter spends his time traveling and working on his personal portrait series. For Peter it is all about people. He prefers to work in a documentary style, enabling him to get closer to a person. Photography to Peter is a way to access these moments, to travel, to meet. "Without these moments they are just pictures," he says.

He now works with a wide range of clients, from travel magazines to corporate portraits.

Clients include: Nautique, Rails, Playboy, Elle, Carp, HP de tijd, NRC and M-magazine.
