The boys at WestHell 5 sent me this photo compilation of several promotion shoots I made fro them. Isn’t that nice?
West Hell 5 on a secret mission
A Silver Cat named Maria
Maria (van Heijningen) Heidemann AKA Silver_Cat is a wonderfully creative Set-designer. She’s also an über fun girl to hang out with and obviously very photogenic.
If all photo shoots were as easy and fun as this one was! These are some of the “outtakes”.
Fun at the LAB

It was great fun yesterday during “PLAY” – an event arranged by Foam_Lab @ Foam. The public was encouraged to interact and participate in the different activities taking place through the building. From firing paint-balls at the wall to curating their own artwork on the walls of the museum or even following a masterclass runway photography (the public were the models). I joined the masterclass, but more about it soon.
Not your typical Band shoot
For awhile now we were discussing the possibility of a cool shoot for the Amsterdam based Mod-Jazz band, West Hell 5. Finally, last December we decided to go for it! Not the ideal time to have a fun band shoot on location, in the middle of a hard freezing winter in Amsterdam! But, a great opportunity for a location came up; a Coal transport and storage bulk terminal called OBA, located at the western docs not far from Amsterdam. So we picked a day a week before Christmas, cleared the permissions to shoot there and now were hoping for some snow/rain-free hours. It seemed we were in luck for not only a dry day, but sunny as well! Freezing -15°c non the less.
