Jens van der Velde
Amsterdam
After his creative teenage years, Jens van der Velde received his degree in Economics and started working and travelling around the world for over a year. He went completely bankrupt by buying a semi-pro camera, however this turned out to be a life-changing choice.
Photography pulled on him harder than launching a career in international business, and this is what he had been working on since his backpacking adventure. He moved close to Amsterdam and has since concentrated on photography and film in music, fashion and portraiture.
Clients include Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Ásgeir, Karl Lagerfeld, Ben Howard, Q Factory and Into The Great Wide Open. His reputation has grown beyond the Dutch borders with his platinum-quality photos capturing timeless and intimate moments.

Tobias Reymond Foto | Film
Amsterdam
"Autumn has arrived! And it's a great time to present Albert Heijn soups and a new Unilever product with a veggie smoked sausage.
The team also completed a lovely LaPlace tea and chocolate range for Jumbo supermarket, while HOOP breweries asked the studio to shoot their new Queen Bee beer. Isn’t she a beauty? She deserved some great shots.
The new high-speed flash generators and sound laser triggers did the job in capturing dusty and splashy spuds for outdoor banner prints. Some clean-up for the aquarium was required, so a bit of Glassex jumping into the frame. Splashy, isn’t it?
New Videos for Albert Heijn with the motion-control rig completed the Autumn-feeling. All studio assets were involved, including props, styling and in-house backdrop artist.
Tobias Reymond Foto | Film could be your preferred supplier too!"

Kyla Elaine
Amsterdam
Even before moving to the Netherlands from her hometown Calgary, Canada in 2008, photography was major part of Kyla Elaine's life.
Once settled in Amsterdam, Kyla turned her passion for still life photography into her profession. A rebel behind the camera, she keeps the product in focus. Experimenting with shapes, textures, objects and colours, it’s her unexpected approach that makes you look... and look again.
From polished to playful, Kyla challenges the boundaries of still life photography - unique angles, intended shadows, gravity-defying placements and creative animations serve to create memorable images that evoke emotions.
Her creative mind, collaboration efforts and chill attitude in the studio is why clients like adidas, Karl Lagerfeld, Ace & Tate and Tommy Hilfiger want to shoot with her again and again.
