About Joeri

I started shooting analogue cameras on my alpine climbs, because I wanted to capture the things I saw to show other people. A few years later I shot my first wedding with my Canon 20D digital camera. I didn’t feel comfortable with the shooting style that most wedding photographers used, so I approached weddings as a journalist, not staging anything.

A few years later I ditched my DSLR kit and bought a Leica M9 rangefinder. After being featured on numerous websites (Steve Huff was the biggest) my career really took off. I shot 60 weddings in just two years. I also started teaching others to become fluent with their Leica cameras. I had clients from the Netherlands and other European countries, but also from the USA and the Middle East.

I got a bit tired after having shot more than 200 weddings in just a couple of years. Nowadays I prefer time over money and I spend a large portion of my time in the great outdoors. Either on long multiday hikes in remote areas of Scandinavia, or on the water in a canoe or kayak, most of the time also in Scandinavia.

I still use my Leica cameras and I added a Fuji medium format camera for insane landscapes. I can’t afford the Leica S system, but to be honest, who can?
