Desk Build

Desk Build

I built a new desk including studio lights and some home studio equipment.

I used a desktop from the local hardware store, 2 Ikea wall lights and acoustic foam panels from Amazon.

I placed a photo of mine above the acoustic panel, which you can actually buy, click here.

To make it a cozy space, I added a small couch and some colourful lights. This makes it a great place to hang uit, play and record music, and edit my videos.

Welcome to my creative space

Greetings, fellow creatives! I am Thomas van Houten, and I am thrilled to welcome you to my digital sanctuary of inspiration and imagination. This website is not just a collection of pixels on a screen; it’s a manifestation of my passion for creativity and a haven for like-minded souls who find joy in the realms of photography, music, and video.

Allow me to introduce myself—a dreamer, an artist, and a perpetual seeker of beauty in the mundane. My journey in the creative sphere has been a rollercoaster of experiences, pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking to uncover new perspectives. Through the lens of my camera, the strings of my guitar, and the editing suite of my computer, I embark on a quest to discover and share the magic that surrounds us.

So, why this website? It’s not just an online portfolio; it’s a dynamic space where creativity reigns supreme. The driving force behind this platform is to boost my own creativity by engaging with a diverse community of creators, thinkers, and enthusiasts. I believe that true inspiration is a reciprocal process, a dance between ideas that sparks the flame of innovation.

Here, you can expect a fusion of photography that captures fleeting moments, music that resonates with emotions, and videos that tell stories beyond words. This digital haven is more than just pixels and code; it’s a place where art comes to life, and where every click, strum, and frame is a brushstroke on the canvas of imagination.

As we embark on this creative odyssey together, I invite you to join the conversation. Share your thoughts, ideas, and creations. Let’s build a community where inspiration flows freely, and where the creative spirit thrives.

Whether you’re an avid photographer, a music enthusiast, or a video aficionado, there’s a place for you here. Let’s explore the boundless possibilities of creativity, learn from one another, and most importantly, have fun along the way.

Welcome to my world. Let the creative journey begin!

Nijmegen in the mist

Nijmegen in the mist

I took a walk around Nijmegen in the misty weather and focused on the bridges.

 

The bridge on photo 1 and 2 is called ‘the oversteek’ (the crossing). This was the place where the soldiers crossed the river as part of Operation Market Garden in the Second World War.

 

Deze foto’s heb ik gemaakt tijdens een wandeling in de mist rond Nijmegen waarbij ik me focuste op de bruggen.

De brug op foto 1 en 2 heet ‘de oversteek’. Dit was de plek waar soldaten de rivier overstaken als onderdeel van Operatie Market Garden in de 2e wereldoorlog.

I loved Tuscany. The landscapes, the food, the cities… Wouldn’t mind to go back with a camera in my hand and a glass of wine to go with it.

Ik vond Tuscany geweldig. De landschappen, het eten, de steden.. Ik zou graag nog eens terug willen met de camera in de hand en een glas wijn erbij..

New York traffic

New York, New York

It was amazing to capture this impressive city in my own way. With the lingering clouds, impressive buildings, and high contrasts, you can see that the city never sleeps, and is always rushing past you.

In New York vond ik het fantastisch om deze indrukwekkende stad te vangen op mijn manier. Door de slepende wolken, indrukwekkende gebouwen en hoge contrasten zie je dat de stad nooit slaapt, altijd maar aan je voorbij raast.

While the primary goal of this trip was to have a nice weekend out with my wife, I still managed to capture a few details of this beautiful city.

Hoewel het doel van het weekend was om gezellig samen weg te zijn, lukte het met toch nog om een paar mooie details van deze prachtige stad vast te leggen.
