PONY was born in Manhattan way back in 1972. As a tribute to their New York identity, PONY decided to do a shoe collaboration with the 4th Beasty Boy, and street photographer Rocky Powell. It was Denni's job to follow the legend around London town and Amsterdam making sure he wouldn't miss a moment of Ricky's signature sessions, his photo expositions or the many shoe shop presentations.

We, 11AM and I spent a crazy week sprinting around Barcelona shooting the 2015 Teva Campaign and filming the RTL4 TV bumpers for the next season of Expeditie Robinson. The shoot was a raging success, we had a great crew, typical sunny Spanish weather and we even managed to avoid the pickpockets. We spent a night in the ultimate treehouse and got to play in the Pyrenees.

Ten years ago Planet Earth changed our view of the world. Now we take you closer than ever before. This is life in all its wonder. This is Planet Earth II. A decade ago, the landmark television series Planet Earth redefined natural history filmmaking, giving us the ultimate portrait of life on Earth. Planet Earth II, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, will reveal our planet from a completely new perspective, using significant advances in both filming technology and our understanding of the natural world.

It was an honour to be asked to take photos for Jamie magazine, the best part about this is that once you've photographed the beautiful food you get to eat it after was Bonus! (we're now a big fan of edible photo shoots) The goal was to take 9 photos of dishes that you could prepare on a camp sight (no canned beans and sausages) it was simple honest food with big flavours. We had dream team on hand who made the shoot a tasty success. Eddy Frings was in charge of set-styling and knew exactly what was needed to create an idyllic camp site setting and Ingmar Niezen's food styling wowed our eyes and our stomachs. Thanks to Diewertje van Wering this delicious spread is now off to the press, we're looking forward to seeing it on paper. Thanks for the behind the scenes photos Diewertje!

Craig Anderson is one of the great surfers of his time. He shot to a place of being impossible to ignore immediately following Modern Collective and has hummed along in perfect rhythm ever since. Welcome Elsewhere is a curation of his most recent time spent on the road, through Tahiti, deep Australia, Indonesia and more, exploring Craig's love of being in the jungle or going mysto in the desert. The real star here is the Kandui's century swell footage we've all been waiting for, on which he rode a 5'4" Hypto Krypto and much virality afterwards, but there's plenty of other pleasant surprises in here. This is, as you might expect, a study in pure style. Film by Kai Neville.

The name 'Ragnarok' comes from an incident in Norwegian mythology, describing the last battle between the good and evil Gods, where only the heroes of the battlefield survive. Red Bull Ragnarok imitates this myth in the respect that only a mere few snow-kite heroes will succeed. Endurance is paramount, and only the toughest riders will make it to the finish line. A group of our friends had the plan to join this race, then we came up with the plan to join them to capture the event on camera.

We've been part of the Mystic photo shoots for many years already. After going to Morocco, Spain, Norway and Greece it was time to get more tropical. Virgin Air helped out with tickets and we flew to Saint Lucia, a tropic island in the Caribbean with a Jamaican touch. For this collection we decided to do it all a little different. We came up with a surrealistic scene together with Deepthought Productions. This is the latest campaign Hugo Happel and I created for Mystic, shot on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Lucia. Our briefing was to create a concept completely different from Mystic's previous campaigns, and decided to put more time and effort in each photo setting, compared to documenting the whole trip like we did on previous shoots.
Mystic is one of the world's most well-known and progressive brands active in kitesurfing and windsurfing. I’ve been working with the brand since 2007 together with Hugo Happel back then under the name 11AM. Our collaboration started with their new website at the time, which turned into keeping the website updated year-round, getting involved in their marketing strategy, setting up and managing their social media channels, creating campaigns and concepts for new collections, and art direction at photoshoots. The projects shown here are Mystic's campaign photo shoots we created and directed over the past few years. On these shoots we always work together with our good friends of Deep Thought Productions.

HUSK is a travel agency specialised in budget skiing trips for students and groups of young people. Together with our good friend Ivo de Bruijn we were asked to follow different groups of these holiday makers and capture the ultimate HUSK feeling. We got to meet a lot of young happy people, that we followed day in and day out, from the slopes to their apartments to the dance floors, celebrating every minute of their vacation without parents. We were there to capture all those moments in France and Austria on a search for 'The HUSK Feeling' in villages like Val Thorens, Risoul and Joue de Loupe, Saint-Sorlin and St. Francois.

After a lot of preparation and deciding where the next Mystic photo shoot would be we took off for Greece where an old wooden sailboat would be waiting for us. The boat called Sally would show us including the people form the Mystic HQ, Deepthought Productions and worlds best kite and windsurfers over the deep blue waters of Greece. To get a realistic feeling of an boat trip in search for the best spots there was only one way to go and that was to do it our self and document it and have fun. This campaign was the summer part of the 'One Season' campaign we started with the winter season shoot prior to this shoot. We spent this shoot on a sailing boat in the seas around Greece, and together with teamriders Youri Zoon, Boujmaa Guilloul, Ruben Lenten, Taty Frans, Bruna, Bruna Kajiya and Marc Jacobs we searched for the best winds in the spring/summer part of the 'One Season' campaign.
