About
In 2002 Johan founded Limelight-today, specialized in food photography and car photography. In the year 2007 he began to work with cgi technology working for car brands like Audi. For Gazprom he has done a great cgi job in Russia, visualizing their petrol stations. A few years ago Johan shot his first moving images.
As a food photographer and cinematographer he wishes to establish a particular style. That style must be fairly aesthetic, and to some extent polished, but the main idea about, let's say food, is that it must be very tasty and mouth watering!
Beside food photography he likes to shoot people and stills. Studio or location work, Johan loves to walk on the ultimate edge. Sports wise Johan is also an ultra runner, 80 kilometers are a normal distance for him. So yes we can say where other photographers might stop he will continue.

Amsterdam: Johan Visschedijk
"'Don’t drive and drink!' is what we always say, but are there moments when you need to?
I like to shoot cars and food, but people say that this is actually not really possible. Well judge for yourself if you like the shots you see. The fun factor in my work as a photographer is the biggest drive for me, and you can't do it all by yourself. That’s why having good people around you is so important. Having a good time with your team is even more fun.
Working for brands like Grolsch, Renault, Bacardi and KIA gives you a certain status, but working for less known brands can sometimes give you more enjoyment than any job you've ever dreamed of.
I do all my still photography in my small cosy studio in Amsterdam and for the bigger sets I rent a studio with everything we need and in the city we want to shoot."

"My wife Lina is from Moscow and therefore I am interested in the Russian culture. Last year I started working on a book in which I show the life at the 'dacha'. These so called dachas are houses visited by Russians mostly during the weekends in summer. People just want to get away from Moscow and relax a bit.
Most of these people work a lot too at the dacha. They grow their own vegetables in their gardens and green houses. A lot of these veggies will be put into jars to save them for winter time. Besides this, the Russians love to grill meat and drink some vodka. Especially now, during the COVID-19 situation, all Russians stay at their dacha, at least if they have one. Of course not everyone is working at the dacha. Many people just go there to relax and have fun, and get away from their daily hectic lives in Moscow,
Due to the current situation, I won't be able to finish the job this year, but I will be back there later this year, I hope.
On my website you can find a blog where I write about my dacha adventures. I ensure you that it will be fun reading it, so follow me.
By the way, in 2021 I will run from Amsterdam to Moscow to promote this book, how cool is that!"
