Hi, I’m Guus, a photographer based in Rotterdam.

Welcome to #ByHeijstek.

Among friends, my last name was quickly turned into “Hashtag” — and there’s more behind it than just a joke.


Just like hashtags connect people in the digital world, I aim to bring people closer together through my photography. I believe in the power of images that make us pause in a fast-moving world.
