Event photography that truly captures the moment


No matter the setting, with #ByHeijstek I capture events as they naturally unfold. Whether it’s a conference, brand event, product launch or an influencer event it’s about the moments that bring everything together.


It goes beyond the obvious highlights. I focus on the in-between moments, the energy in the room and the small details that shape the full story. From speakers on stage to genuine connections off stage I create images that feel real, engaging and true to the moment.





Why choose #Byheijstek?


I focus on the details that others might miss the small interactions, the atmosphere, the in-between moments that truly define an event. It’s not just about the highlights, but about telling the full story.



You won’t be waiting long either. Images are typically delivered within 48 hours, ready to be used while the event is still talk of town.


I work in a relaxed and unobtrusive way, so people can just be themselves, resulting in images that feel real, energetic and easy to use for marketing, PR or sharing afterwards.


My approach



I believe in creating images that make you pause, even in a world that moves fast. My approach is about noticing the moments that often go unseen and turning them into something tangible something that feels real, timeless and full of emotion.

That mindset is what led me to start #ByHeijstek.



Through my work, I aim to share a cheerful, optimistic perspective capturing the energy, the details and the feeling of a moment as it naturally unfolds.
