Hans is an amazing person with a great artistic eye.

We took the time to get to know each other and had lots of good conversations.

We tried many different things and had lots of fun while testing every visual possibility. The pre-comms were great and I can’t wait for the final results.

I would love to keep in contact with Hans and shoot another time!

I really enjoyed working with Hans on my recent Netherlands tour. Hans is a lovely person and highly talented photographer. We experimented with a variety of sets and ideas. We created beautiful images. Hans home is perfect to shoot in also, spacious, light and decorated with amazing colourful artwork and a lucious green outdoor space. Creating expressive artwork, looking deeper and capturing the dark and the light. I really like the textures and depth in Hans work. I highly reccomend him and hope to work together again. :)

Hans is a beautiful person and such a creative and resourceful artist.

As a person, he's a perfect gentleman, always very caring, witty, and funny. As an artist, he has his own voice and strong intuition. He's not afraid to explore all space and angles available or unthought of, and get into the dark corners of the soul and mind of his subjects, and artistically sublime them.

It is always my pleasure to stay and create with him. Thank you, Hans! Highly recommended.

Hans is such a kind man and a great photographer. He likes to show the models dark side, the honesty, the sorrow and vulnerability. It's amazing to be set free as a model. He gives me the opportunity to pose freely, in no rush. He sees the model very clearly, and that makes the pictures so beautiful and pure.

We took a lot of photos around in his big house in a very cozy villsge. I can definitely recommend Hans to every model who wants to show emotion, honesty and the crazy side we all have in us. It's so fun and releasing to shoot with Hans

Thank you for a wonderful stay,

See you soon

Hans is a very kind photographer with a beautiful garden and places to shoot! Besides some miscommunications we had two great shoots on separate occasions. I am very pleased with the pictures we made and I would recommend to work with him.

I recently stayed with Hans for a couple of days. He is a kind man with a warm heart. I felt welcome and relaxed while staying at his place. Especially his (beautiful) garden is amazing to sit back and relax after a shoot.

He already sent me pictures one day after and I am very happy with a couple of expressive headshots and some landscape pictures we made!

Overall I would recommend working with him. You don't necassarily need to be an experienced model. When you have a conversation with Hans you will understand what he is looking for in his pictures. If you dare to show your raw and unmasked side in front of the camera, you wil make stunning work together!

today I had a wonderful shoot with Hans.

he welcomed me and my boyfriend at his beautiful house and garden.

Hans has a very creative view on what he wants to make.

He clearly explaines what he wants (and what he doesn't want).

At any time I felt comfortable shooting with him (just maybe a little less when the wind picked up and it started raining haha!)

I'm really looking forward for the results and hope we can do many more shootings together!

Hans and I have worked together several times and he has also hosted me.

Hans is one of my favorite photographers to work with and we have worked several hours together. He is also a super host who makes sure you get in from him and to the other shooter also that you get enough food throughout the day. He is an accomplished photographer and a great host. It is highly recommended to work with but also be coughed.

Whilst working with Henri Senders, myself, my partner and Henri all stayed with Hans at his beautiful home and I was very glad that I also got the opportunity to work with Hans during my trip!

Although the shoot was arranged at very short notice, Hans took time to share with me his work and together we decided on the kind of styles we'd like to create together and immediately headed to the studio! Although it is a fairly small studio space, the possibilities are endless and I believe from seeing the back of the camera that we created some wonderful things together!

Not only was it nice to shoot with Hans, but he was also a wonderful host and it was nice to spend time in his house, eating together and admiring the wonderful garden!

Thank you for your hospitality!

I met Hans for the first time when he hosted my stay to shoot with Henri for the weekend. His hospitality throughout was exceptional.

Between shoots Hans took the time to show me much of his incredible resumé of work and I was certainly an admirer of his style from the urban life moments through to the darker erotic scenes depicted.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to shoot with Hans a few times. He is very methodical in his approach and so prior to each session we discussed ideas on what we may look to portray and which clothing and accessories to use.

Shooting with Hans in the closet and storeroom in Roermond was an emotive journey as we explored different narratives. He has a wonderful imagination and so would propose a scenario that we might recreate. I found myself conveying expression in a way I had never done on previous shoots and this is reflected in what we created.

We also shot outdoors in the woodland at sunrise where he captured some equally captivating moments.

Hans ensured that my stay made for a tremendous experience, with his welcoming manner and willingness to share his passion for the art.

I definitely look forward to meeting and shooting with Hans again. He is highly recommended by me.

I was hosted by Hans in his home in the Netherlands for 4 nights. We spent one of those days taking photos and making the most wonderful images.

He was a wonderful host and I enjoyed our time shooting immeasurably. I am hoping for another invite in the future as I would very much like to keep in contact and work with him in the future.

I had a great time shooting with Hans. The pre-communications were clear and he was right on time for the shoot. During the shoot, he gave good directions and I'm looking forward to seeing the final images. Hans is a very friendly and pleasant person to talk to, and I hope to work together again in the future.

Hans hosted me for two times now and we have had several shoots together. Hans is a lovely person to work with, polite, professional and creative. Hans takes good care of models and is a very good host.

Me and my boyfriend had a shoot with him too. Hans was good at getting my boyfriend to feel comfortable on the shoot. Can't wait to see the finished results.

Looking forward to the next time we work together and I recommend him wholeheartedly to any models who are considering working with him or be hosted by him.

I've just had the pleasure to work with Hans one more time. He is actually being my host here in the Netherlands, and what a lovely host he is. It's always great to work with him. I especially like how he lets be a part of the selection process of the best photographs we made together.

Lucia Reyes

Hans is a sweet and talented Photographer. He is very respectful and easy to work with. It was a pleasure to pose for him and I am looking forward to doing so again soon. I recommend him to all models looking for subtle and romantic work.

When I came to the Netherlands to shoot with Henri Senders, Hans kindly offered his beautiful home for us to stay in. However, over the three nights I was there he also took photos of me, we spent a lot of time talking and laughing and drinking coffee and eating delicious veggie food, and I have left feeling lucky to have met him and hoping to see him again very soon.

Hans is an amazing host who takes great pride in his guests feeling at home, and pays attention to the smallest details. As a photographer, he is great at directing and explaining what he wants from a picture, and has a great eye for light and composition. However, my favourite part of working with him was his contagious enthusiasm and the clear joy he gets from taking a great picture.

Thank you for everything Hans, and hope to see you soon!
