[Bart van Maarseveen | film-based music photographer]
Bart van Maarseveen is a Dutch film photographer based in The Netherlands, specializing in live music, artist portraits and visual storytelling for musicians, labels, venues, and cultural brands. My goal is to create iconic shots, to build myth, to amplify who you are as an artist.
"Myth-building imagery for artists, bands and brands"
Most artists already have photos.
Very few have images that amplify who they are, and who they are becoming.
I work on film because iconic images rarely come from endless options or technical perfection. They come from direction, tension, limitation, energy, and serendipity. Film helps me in all this and the chemical process creates room for surprises, and that is where my images become alive and memorable.
For artists and brands with a distinct world, I create imagery that feels remembered. Sounds like you? Come work with me.
[All photos on this website are shot on film using vintage gear, with minimal post-processing and no AI. All shots are done manual. Embracing the chemical process and the limitations that give each image its unique character.]
