‘Raaph’? What a weird name. You’re absolutely right—it’s not my real name, obviously. It’s a nickname my friends gave me, with a little wordplay thrown in. It stuck, and here we are. And creativity used to be just a hobby that got out of hand.

I work as a filmmaker, photographer, and creative lead. Based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. 

To give you a glimpse of who I am, see the video portrait on this page. And yes, I’m a bit older now. I could keep talking for hours about inspiration and other passions, but I’d rather do that in real life with a coffee. Send me a message or let’s connect on LinkedIn. 👋
