Hi there, I’m Daan Kooistra. Photographer. Storyteller. Light-architect.
I’ve been taking photo's since 2018. From that moment on, I wanted to take pictures and tell stories about people, capture the moments that shape them and the world they move through.
What drives me, is the power of a photo that goes beyond the visual impression.
I believe every photo tells something about who we are, where we are, and what truly matters in that moment.
Whether it’s an intimate portrait, a breathtaking landscape, or an event that passes by too quickly: I’m here to capture that unique experience, so you can always return to that special moment.
From the dynamic energy of a festival to the stillness of a distant land or close-up portrait, I use light, emotion, and context to tell your story.

So, are you ready to capture your story, or the one of a beloved friend or family-member or the memories you'll make during important events in your life?
Let’s create that story, capture that memory and cherish it forever.
Curious about what we can create together? Whether you have a project in mind or would like to give me the freedom to apply my expertise, I’m here to tell your story in pictures.

If you stumbled upon this, I admire your curiosity. Therefore, here are a few quick facts about me:
1. I want to visit all of the 50 countries of Europe. I'm at 17 and still counting..
2. I am quite tall so bird's-eye view pictures are possible.
3. I'm a big John Mayer fan (and a fellow guitar player too)
