"I don't just style, I create dreams."

Alexandra (Alex) Schijf is a Dutch freelance food and props stylist. She believes that table top styling and food styling are like Siamese twins: they depend on each other, love each other, and strengthen each other. She wants the beautiful food to speak for itself, therefore her style is without fuss.

Clean, but with a warm touch, her work has been published in multiple cookbooks, web and commercial campaigns. She recently started with food and table top styling for video. Alex just loves being on set, and sees every photo shoot as a small celebration of life.

Pim Ras was born in Rotterdam and knew as an eight-year-old child what his professional destination in life would be; to become a sports photographer like the photographers he saw when he accompanied his father to the Feyenoord football stadium de Kuip.

At the age of 16 Pim's dream came true when he was asked to become the photographer of Ajax Amsterdam. There he met the big names in Dutch sports photography at that time. In 1988, he joined the agency of cycling photographer Cor Vos. He also began working for the second largest newspaper in Holland, Algemeen Dagblad.

Today, at the age of 50 Pim still has his main podium in the sports section, AD Sportwereld. For AD he has photographed five Summer Olympics and three Winter Olympics as well as 10 European and World Football championships across the globe. In his career, Pim has won 43 prizes in the Dutch Silver Camera Contest, as well as two prizes at the international photo contest organised by French sports newspaper L’Equipe.

In his 30-year career, Pim has developed into an all-round photographer with a special talent for sports and portraiture. He works mostly on editorials for Algemeen dagblad, Voetbal International, Voetbal Inside Magazine, Entree Magazine and has also been assigned for documentary photography for Terre des Hommes and Doctors Without Borders. Pim is represented by Hollandse Hoogte and VI-Images.

Pim Hendriksen is an Amsterdam-based photographer with a great passion for everything that can be created with a camera.

As a self-taught photographer his ever increasing thirst for knowledge serves as his inspiration. Pim balances his drive with a technical knowledge of photography that helps his work as a commercial photographer, specialising in advertising, portraits and automotive imagery with a look and feel that is colourful, powerful and energetic.

He has had the good fortune to collaborate with national and international advertising agencies, magazines and renowned design studios. Running a client-friendly, service-oriented business is a cornerstone in his day-to-day operations; he believes that great creativity is often the result of a team effort and he values working closely with his clients.

Pim lives in Amsterdam with his beautiful wife Sophie and gorgeous daughter Isabelle, but works wherever a bike, plane or car will take him.

To Hans Verleur the essence of imaging is storytelling and lighting. In his images he likes to create a sort of single-frame-stories, in which the action extends beyond the frame and the lighting conditions set the mood. Pinpointing his style, it can best be described as cinematographic, the light tells an important part of the story. On top of this, he enjoys the co-creation with creatives and the collaboration with the subjects.

Although his assignments range from portraits to landscapes, he considers lifestyle as core direction in his photography.

He has specialised himself in customised image banks: client specific series of images which reflect the essence of the company or of a certain product. During such productions his full photographic and production experience come into play: storytelling, improvisation, wide production experience, dealing with challenges and in depth client relation.

Clients big or small, he is always dedicated to maximise the outcome.

Wendelien Daan is based in Amsterdam and studied fashion design at the ArtEZ Academy of the Arts in Arnhem before taking a short-cut to the perfect final result by taking up photography.

Wendelien's use of open and closed body language emphasizes feminine power.  It is the combination of elements - the love of storytelling with an austere surreal undertone - that makes her work stand out.

Her latest project was an exhibition entitled ‘Photo to Fashion’ at the Nederlands Foto Museum, Rotterdam between September 2015 and January 2016.
