Meet the 

With a background in psychology, I know how to trigger emotions — and that’s exactly what I aim to do. I create visuals that make people feel something. Because emotions make people react, connect, and take action. And that’s what converts into real results for your business. 

Over the past years I’ve travelled, created, learned, and refined my eye for detail. I’m perfectionistic when it comes to visuals, but always with the goal of making the viewer experience something real. Whether it’s travel, lifestyle or brand content, I aim to create work that inspires and invites people to take action.

 

If you’re looking for content that stands out, connects emotionally, and elevates your brand — you’re in the right place. Visuals that make people feel something. That’s what I do.

The person behind the lens

Joska gootjes, travel photography and video

Hi, I’m Joska, part-time traveler and storyteller, full-time lover of life 

With a background in psychology, I understand how emotions work, and more importantly, how to trigger them. That’s exactly what I aim to do: creating visuals that resonate. Because when something makes you feel, you react, connect, and take action. And that’s what converts into real results for your business. 

In my photography, I focus on warm, cinematic imagery that tells a story. Every frame is intentional. Every detail matters. I don’t just capture what something looks like, I capture what it felt like to be there.

Most of the time, you’ll find me wandering through unfamiliar places with my camera almost glued to my hand. And when I’m not, I’m probably out on a long walk in nature, pushing myself physically, or simply enjoying the people who matter most.

Always exploring

I love trying new things. A new sport? I’m in. A hip new restaurant? Yes please. A flight to a country I’ve never been to? Sign me up. I’m happiest when I’m somewhere new, eating unfamiliar food, meeting new people and learning something along the way.

Chasing sunrises

I highly prefer sunrises over sunsets, call me crazy. There’s something magical about waking up before the world does. It’s quiet, it feels like the beginning of something new, and you still have the whole day ahead of you. And the light? Always worth waking up for.

OUtside the comfort zone

I’m a big believer that the best moments happen outside your comfort zone. Solo traveling  Asia, learning to surf, living in Scotland by myself, hiking an active volcano or even jumping out of an airplane, experiences like these have shaped who I am and how I see the world.

A little more about me

Beyond the camera, there’s a lot more to me. Little things that shape who I am, both as a person and as a creator.

Have an idea or a place you want to bring to life? I’d love to hear what you have in mind.
