Hi, my name is Sjoerd Booij and I’m a dutch photographer living in Amsterdam. Let me tell you a little about my background and how I became a photographer…
In 2006 I travelled to Chile to work as a volunteer in the field of sustainable development for six months. Anxious to document the trip I bought a Sony camcorder. While filming I quickly discovered that this beautiful piece of equipment was also capable of capturing stills. Looking back at things now, I believe that during this trip I discovered photography was going to be a big part of my life. After returning to the Netherlands, it took a while for me to realize what my discovery meant. To be specific, it took three more years before I picked up a camera again and pursued my dream.
So now I am a photographer and I enjoy every minute of it. Working with inspiring people, creating interesting concepts and images that I and my clients envision. I’ve been working along side of consumer clients and companies, always pushing myself towards taking pictures that matter. I envision a style of photography that tells a story within a real-life setting. The use of interesting locations, great people and a mindset of “living the moment” being big parts of my photography. Never standing still, always trying new things, always learning. That’s what makes life great isn’t it?
Want to contact me and create something great together?
