WHAT I OFFER

Services

Michiel Spijkers helps brands, agencies and institutions creating imagery with a clear point of view. Not only brought in to shoot or direct, but also to sharpen ideas, direct visual choices and guide the work even before production begins.

Film Direction

Direction for moving image, campaign films and visual stories that need the same clarity, timing and graphic sensibility as his photography.

Visual Consult

A practical outside eye on image language, mood, casting, composition, briefing and production choices before the work is made.

Creative Direction

Concept development, art direction and visual guidance for campaigns, content series and brand stories, from first idea to final image.

How I work

A creative eye from the start

The strongest work starts before the shoot. I love to join early in to the creative process. To sharpen the idea, question what the images or videos needs to do, and translate the brief into a clear visual direction.

From there, I can guide the concept, direct film or photography, advise on mood, casting and composition, or bring the right people together for production. The result is visual work with intent, character and a point of view.
