About Us
Born in 1970, Jaap Buitendijk grew up in Holland. He travelled extensively in his early twenties and moved to the UK in 1990. It was during his travels that he first picked up a camera and began to grow his passion for photography. This led to a degree course in documentary photography, at Newport. Here his interest shifted to the photography of film making, and the apparent contradiction of using documentary skills to record a 'created' reality; that of films. He was awarded a first class honours degree and the Fuji Professional Award for Film Stills, in 1996.
Since then Jaap has established himself as an experienced stills photographer, with a reputation for looking beyond the obvious. At home on sets of major productions such as Blood Diamond, Gladiator and Harry Potter, as well as smaller projects such as In Bruges, The Constant Gardener and Girl with a Pearl Earring, his work shows versatility and commitment to the still photography of cinema and the fascinating opportunity to capture the mechanics of film making itself.
