What I photograph
Automotive comes first. I also create what a brand or business needs: imagery for websites, products, events and commercial use.
Business
Professional imagery for spaces, products, people and the details that carry a brand.
Website photography
A complete image set for a website, from hero and landing pages to products and webshops.
Behind the camera
“Not only showing what was there, but bringing back how the moment felt.”
Frame That Visual is my photography platform. As a freelance photographer, I start with automotive culture and also work for businesses, events, travel and portraits.
I work personally and with purpose. For every assignment, I consider the location, light, intended use and the images that form a strong series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Photography
What I create
What type of photography do you offer?
Automotive photography is my main focus, but I also create website photography, business imagery and tailored content packages for companies.
Do you only photograph cars?
No. Automotive is my speciality and biggest passion, but I am always open to creative projects where photography, visual storytelling and a strong concept come together.
Can you photograph my car for personal use?
Absolutely. Whether it is your daily driver, a special build or a car you are simply passionate about, I would love to create something around it.
What makes your automotive photography different?
I do not want to simply document a car. I focus on the details, atmosphere, location, light and perspective that bring the car to life and show it at its best.
Do you photograph events?
Yes. I photograph automotive events, business events, launches, meets and other occasions where strong visual coverage matters. I focus on the atmosphere, people, details and moments that make an event worth remembering. I do not currently offer wedding photography.
The Shoot
How we work
How does a shoot work?
We start by discussing your car, ideas and what you want to achieve. From there, I think along with you about the location, timing, lighting and overall visual direction.
How is the location for a shoot determined?
We decide on the location together. First, we discuss the environment, atmosphere and style you have in mind. I then research suitable locations within the agreed area, including a strong backup. If the first choice is unavailable, we already have a plan B.
Can you help me choose a location?
Absolutely. If you already have a location in mind, we can work with it. If not, I will help find a place that fits the car and the look we are aiming for.
Can you help develop the concept?
Yes — and I prefer working that way. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. I like thinking ahead and developing ideas together to get the strongest result.
Can you do rolling shots?
Yes. Rolling photography is available and is a strong way to capture movement, speed and the dynamic side of a car.
How long does a shoot take?
Every project is different. The duration depends on the concept, location and amount of content we want to create. We agree on what makes sense for your project beforehand.
How many photos will I receive?
That depends on the shoot and the agreed scope. I focus on a carefully selected collection of strong, fully edited images rather than simply providing as many photos as possible.
Business & Commercial
For brands & businesses
Do you create photography for businesses and websites?
Yes. I create imagery for websites, businesses and brands, tailored to their identity and the way they want to present themselves.
Do you offer content packages?
Yes. Content packages can be built around your specific needs, from website imagery to social media content and everything in between.
Can you help with the creative direction?
Absolutely. I can get involved from the beginning and help develop the visual direction, concept, location, compositions and final imagery.
Can the images be used commercially?
Yes. We discuss the intended use beforehand and make the usage rights clear before the project begins.
Working Together
Everything else
Where are you based?
I am based in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes. I travel throughout the Netherlands for shoots and also go abroad for suitable projects.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier, the better — especially for specific dates, locations or larger projects. That said, it is always worth reaching out, even if your idea is last-minute.
I do not have a clear idea yet. Can you help?
Absolutely. Tell me what you are working with, what you want to achieve and what you like visually. I will help turn that into a concept we can create.
How do I get started?
Simply get in touch and tell me what you have in mind. It does not have to be a fully developed idea. We will take it from there.
