Bas van Est Europe - New Zealand People & Lifestyle photographers & directors

Bas’s commercial and documentary projects span the globe. His strength lies in finding common ground with his subjects, leading to evocative, genuine and energetic imagery. His intuitive approach includes the sweet blend of documentary with a refined edge built up over more than five years assisting some of the world's finest advertising photographers, both in Europe and New Zealand.

Last year, Bas directed his first two short films which came from stories that caught his eye while on commissioned shoots in Oman and Cuba. His directorial debut ‘Everything is Temporary’ premiered on Nowness, and you can find the trailer of his second documentary short film ‘Yusef y Ramiro’ here.
