Bio

I'm Bas, born October 9th 1975 in the Hague, the Netherlands. At the moment I'm living in Den Helder.
I'm available for commercial work, as well as TFP/CD (Time for Pictures) shoots. Just contact me ;)

Corethron Many times I've been asked what 'corethron' stands for. Well, Corethron criophilum is a little plant that lives in the Southern ocean, an Antarctic diatom. I worked with several different species of diatoms for a while and have seen a lot of them under a microscope, but, in my humble opinion, this is one of the most beautifull I have seen. Click on the microscope image of Corethron criophilum on the right for more information.

Photographic Interests

I usually look for inspiration in my direct surroundings. So Nature (the Sea, Birds, landscapes and forest) is most often my subject. Once in a while I plan a trip with a friend of mine and then we visit a special place and have an for 'old time sake' day. Recently I'm looking into model shooting of any kind and I hope to find as much enjoyment in it as I have found shooting other subjects so far :)
