The city I come from, Dordrecht is situated in a central position of the Netherlands, which is a geographical fact. Following the rivers and roads, radians are formed from North to South, from East to West. Dordrecht lies between Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam in the North and Breda, and Antwerp in the South.

    "Jaap is een kunstenaar pur sang. Zijn foto's blinken uit door helderheid en schoonheid, met recht een digitale landschapsarchitect. Ga door Jaap, ik kan er echt van genieten."

    "Valt het je op dat Jaap zijn eerste liefde landschap schilderen is ?
    Elke foto toont dezelde nauwgezetheid in een harmonisch kleurenpalet en licht managment, de prachtige wolkenhemels die het landschap nog meer tot zijn recht laat komen.
    Jaap ziet de pracht van het Hollands landschap en schildert dit met zijn camera als geen ander tot in de fijnste details met een evenwicht in het bijeenbrengen van diverse elementen om dit land, zijn land, Holland weer te geven in al zijn rijkdom met een doorgedreven know-how.

    Did you notice that Jaap his first love is painting landscapes?
    Each photograph shows meticulously this rich palette in color harmony and light management and with splendid cloudscapes he knows how to enhance his landscapes even more.
    Jaap sees the splendor of the Dutch landscape and paints it with his camera as no other into the finest details, bringing divers tiny elements together in balance. He paints this country, his country, Holland in its inexhaustible wealth with an increasing know-how."
