Jaap van den Beukel

Photographer and filmmaker

NL

I am a photographer and filmmaker, driven by the search for personal stories of people in relation to their surroundings. Inspired by new encounters and perspectives, I create my own projects in photography and film, while also working on commission. Below you will find an overview of my work and the various projects. I also give talks and coach other visual makers. If you would like to collaborate, commission a project, develop an idea, or are looking for a speaker, please feel free to get in touch: .info@jaapvandenbeukel.com

In the NPO Radio 1 program Nooit meer slapen,, I talk about my photography and film projects. The soundtrack of the documentary Mijn Noord was nominated for Best Music in the Documentary category at the Buma Music in Media Awards 2026 (composer: Lilian Hak). The film was also the second most-watched documentary of 2025 on Dutch public broadcasting.
