Rick van der Vlies, born in 1996 and based near Rotterdam, is active as photographer and digital retoucher. He loves to create lifestyle, fashion, sporty and portrait images for advertising and editorial purposes.
Rick uses his camera as a tool that allows him to capture the dynamics and aesthetics that he finds in life. To create this he uses a clear image style, stylised with a documentary/lifestyle vibe. Bright and colourful but with the right adjustments for each subject. The best way to describe his work is ‘being close to the subject’.
As he went to the Dutch University of Photography after high school, he started to build his career relatively young. Because of that early start in the professional market, Rick feels that this allows him to offer a fresh vision in the creative industry, a vision shared with a team of skilled people.
In daily life, Rick has a big passion for martial arts and has a guilty pleasure of staying up-to-date with the fashion world.
