About me
DIRECTOR • CINEMATOGRAPHER • VR CREATIVEJaap (1984) is an award winning visual storyteller. He uses film, Virtual Reality and photography as his go-to tools. He has been working internationally as a freelance documentary photographer and camera operator since 2007 and a cinematographer since 2010. As his career progressed, he started to direct (and write) more and more, which has now become his main focus.
With experience in shooting long term (research) based documentary photography projects, documentaries (film), music videos, commercials, web based interactive content and narrative fiction for clients that include the BBC, Nike, BMW and numerous NGO's, his work has taken him to over sixty countries and counting.
In his work, Jaap is constantly searching for projects that move him. Stories that have a powerful visual identity in combination with enthralling human elements and a hyperdiegetic way of storytelling, often set in the more challenging environments our planet has to offer.
Jaap is also a member of the Directors Guild of the Netherlands (DDG).
