Xander is the owner of XvO Photography and Creapedia: "I started my own company in 1999 after studying photography and graphics at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KABK) in The Hague. During and after the Academy, I worked for several years for 22 great photographers worldwide. They gave me the opportunity to gain a tremendous amount of experience and explore my own passion for photography. A good base for building my own company with a great variaty of interesting clients, some of whom I have worked with for more than 10 years. I have been fortunate that my projects have taken me to a lot of places and I hope my pictures show you my passion.”
