Dennis
Benschop
Hi, my name's Dennis Benschop. I picked up a camera over ten years ago in New Zealand, where the landscapes practically shoot themselves. Mountain ranges, night skies, snowboarding trips with friends - it was all fair game. My dad had a camera when he was young, and somewhere along the way that curiosity found me too.
"Every car at an event is someone's creative statement. Every race, someone's defining moment."
Moving to the Netherlands changed everything. The dramatic scenery was gone, and for a while I wasn't sure what to point the lens at. Then I started going to car events, sports events, more weekends on the sidelines - and somewhere in all of it I noticed the same thing every time. It's never really about the cars, or the sport. It's the people. The community that shows up around it.
What kept me coming back was that energy - the builds, the passion, the moments in sport that you only get once. My job is to capture those moments and stories, and make sure they look exactly as significant as they are. Based in the Netherlands, available wherever the shoot takes me.
