My job: journalist/camerman/editor. But you might want to cut it short to visual storyteller. Together with my partner we form "NuNam". We shape stories into film, photography, installations and interactives. We are passionate about our job. We see ourselves as chroniclers of a generation, an era in time so challenging yet so full of opportunities. We tell the great events, tendencies and feelings of these times by gripping in-depth stories. As personal as can be. We strive to inspire our viewer. Challenge them. Entertain them. In our travels we worked for major television stations, brands and ngo’s. Our personal highlights? A short-doc on how a young Palestinian fights for his dream to run a marathon outside of Gaza. Or the story of the great fire in Valparaiso, Chile where 12000 people lost their houses. You hear the flames rushing through the streets. You smell the aftermatch of tragedy. You feel the power of hope, human strength and family.

As a teenager born in the Netherlands, I taught sailing and windsurfing during holidays. I studied Cultural Anthropology, served in the army, worked years at a camera store and finally followed my heart and started studying photography at the Royal Art Academy in The Hague. I started my business in 2002 and took commercial photos for over 10 years in Rotterdam before moving to Belgium in 2007. There, I shifted my focus to editorial photojournalism and portrait photography. For over 15 years now I shoot stories and portraits for international media and corporate clients worldwide. Wether it is just a one hour portrait shoot or a 2 day event shoot, I know what professionalism stands for. People say I am flexible and easy to work with, and that my work is always top notch. And I'm happy with happy clients, so that works.

Sujay is a photographer, filmmaker and a photobook maker from Mumbai, India. Probably as a result of him having lived most of his life in urban spaces, Sujay finds himself constantly being distracted by forests, hills and grasslands. While pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, Sujay continued to steadily nurture this ‘distraction’ towards natural habitats. After graduation, he worked as an assistant cinematographer, videographer, photographer, video editor and colourist. Most of Sujay’s filmic work is an attempt at documenting his immediate surroundings, with a keen focus on the relationship between humans and natural elements in the environments that they share. Currently, Sujay resides in Brussels and holds a Masters in documentary film direction from the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters program, Docnomads.
