Description

Which layers of a musical composition give you shivers, and why do some visual aesthetics create a sense of wonder and beauty? These are questions I have been exploring since the first time I picked up my mother's 35mm and when I composed the first note of a composition.

I have been fortunate to use my creative power in Amsterdam 🇳🇱, Milan 🇮🇹, Tamarindo🇨🇷 , and Copenhagen 🇩🇰 for popular brands such as Matinique, Denham, Emporio Armani, Condé Nast, Native Instruments, Securitas and Seat Cupra. A small section of this can be found on my portfolio website:

I love creating promotional documentaries about different communities and places around the world, and I think there's no better way than to stay there and surround yourself with countless inspiring individuals ✌️

Jaap is a very pleasant fellow; he's always happy to help wherever needed and is also a great conversationalist. From the first moment until our farewell, he had a great atmosphere! Special thanks also for the video editing – you can tell he does it professionally.

Looking forward to se him again and wish him all the best until then!

It was fun a stay here! Even though there was some rain and the camp was under construction I deeply enjoyed the place. I helped to fix the "Pizza Hut" and the roof of one of the stables after some storm damage. It was inspiring to hear the future plans for the camp and hope they get realised in the coming years. #redacted# it was a delight to … read more

Jaap was such a talented individual to have around. His creative/video efforts truly helped us set an even higher standard for the quality of visuals that represent the community here. He was also just a super nice dude and pleasant human to everyone around him, and we would recommend any host in the Workaway world to welcome him in with open arms!

This place attracts a certain type of person: Open-minded, Not scared of being outside his/her comfort zone and most of the times a cool back story. One of my favorite moments was the playa … read more
