Fuzzphoto.eu photography

Welcome to Fuzzphoto.eu photography by Joris van den Heuvel.

This is an assorted online photo gallery consisting of all types of photographs, ranging from studio shots to holiday snaps, with test shots for Fuzzcraft.com and pet portraits in between. The main focus, however, is on concert photography.

Use the cursor keys to walk through the images in each gallery. Or just click the controls. Pretty much everything you see can be clicked and pretty much everything starts to move around when you do, so have fun!

There are currently 1,950 photos online.

Concert photography is the largest part of my work. I never thought I would be capable of some of the stuff in this section. I used to be a performing musician myself and I'd often be shooting the bands I shared the stage with. Being one of the performing musicians, I could easily get away with standing in the best positions. If the venue had a backstage area, I had access there as well. This is how I got into concert photography.

The music styles I'm into are pretty extreme: mainly death and black metal, and obviously the bands I shoot are mainly in those genres. The mostly very energetic performances make this very hard, but sometimes pretty spectacular.

As of recently, I've also been shooting various other acts, covering many music styles, for Xinix, a venue in Nieuwendijk.

This section currently contains 1,350 photos.

For now, this section only shows my study of the fine art of studio photography. I will add shots here regularly.

Welcome to the snapshots section. The less serious stuff sits here: experiments and shots for Fuzzcraft.com projects, our small home zoo of 3 cats and a dog, an homage to our late doggy Sloeber, holiday snaps, and various fun or otherwise interesting stuff.

These are mostly unedited shots.

This section used to contain my best shots, but is now somewhat dated. For the time being, I will be referring to this section as selections

The categories, and the number of images in each one, are still a good measure of what I shoot, apart from concerts, which have their own section. Some of the images date back to 1999 and were taken with my first digital camera.

Name: Joris van den Heuvel
Born: The Netherlands, March 6, 1975

I started shooting pictures when I was a little kid. I had my own Instamatic 110 cassette camera with which I made my own holiday pictures, and later started using my parents' Praktica TL1000 and MTL3 manual single lens reflex cameras. I then devoted quite some years of my life to making music, and completely abandoned photography. Until 2005, when I bought a digital compact camera capable of more than just snapshots. This marked my rediscovery of photography, and not soon after, I invested in an entry level digital SLR camera and a small number of lenses to get a long lost passion going again. Nowadays, I have so much stuff it's starting to get unhealthy...

Today, my work focuses mainly on concerts in small venues. And recently I made a big step: I started doing studio shots with my new dual strobe setup.
