Based near Amsterdam, former composer and DJ Otto van den Toorn decided to leave his secluded studio life behind and move into the photographic world. 20 years of modelling experience  was also a great way to start working as a fashion photographer!

Otto’s assignments are mostly fashion related and he has shot campaigns for brands such as Ibana, Nikkie.com, JoshV, Makeupstudio, Inglot, MiMoneda, Lookx, RTL, Mjus, Cavallaro Napoli and Tramontana as well as magazines such as Talkies Magazine, LAF, SalonNV-UK, Grazia and Stylevision.

Amsterdam Production Services is The Netherland’s leading production service company. John Trapman, a Canadian abroad in Holland, leads the multi-lingual team with over 20 years’ experience providing cost effective production for commercials, features, TV and photography.

"We know how difficult it can be to shoot abroad and that is why we offer our total commitment providing for every component of production services in Holland, such as location scouting and fixing, casting, crew, equipment, studio, hotel, transportation and post-production. No project is too big to handle or too small to enjoy!"
