Who am I ?
 

Hi, my name is Sander Rijnders, and I'm a model photographer. I was thrown into this world in 1975 and I’m currently living in Venlo, a city found in the south of the Netherlands, close to the German border.

My first digital camera was a compact camera from Canon, one on which you could control the settings manually including aperture and shutter speed. That camera has always worked smoothly and to my satisfaction, but people kept saying that "real photos" were still made with an analog SLR camera.

However, that all changed with the introduction of the digital SLR camera. When the time finally came to replace my good old compact camera, I bought my first “real” camera, a digital SLR.
Since working with a digital SLR is quite different from working with a compact camera, I searched the Internet for tips and tricks, read books on how to get the most out of your camera and followed several photography workshops.

A lot has changed over the years in the world of photography, and although my skills have improved a lot, I’m still learning with every shoot. Meanwhile, my main focus has become model photography.
The default kit lenses have all since been replaced by lenses from Canon’s L series, and my first body substituted by the Canon 5D Mark II.

Please feel free to browse through my portfolio. Should you have any questions and/or remarks, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Have fun!

Sander.
