Jeff is a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (and dropout...long story), philosophy undergraduate (which he admits has been surprisingly useful), international multimedia journalism MA (China Cohort), and professional wanderer (over 12 years of living in countries in Africa, Asia, and S. America) that is grateful to somehow have carved out a living creating photos and make videos all over the world (…and by somehow he means a life of never-ending learning, cursing, laughing, crying, failing, and finally becoming good enough to be paid).

Although his background is in multimedia journalism and documentary photography (which wasn’t exactly paying the bills), his specialty over the last few years has been mostly documentary brand storytelling for Trek Bikes. However, never one to be idle, he recently decided to switch it up and is currently the Director of Multimedia for Americares, a large NGO in the international disaster relief and health sector. He also helps teach photography workshops for National Geographic's Student Expeditions in the summer when his schedule allows.

Ellen van den Doel is a landscape photographer from the Netherlands. She is photographing since 2009 but landscapes became more and more her passion. Born and raised on the island Goeree Overflakkee she is always surrounded with water. Water is an important theme in her photography. Playing at the beach with the camera and long exposures and ND filters is her favorite thing to do. The coast gives Ellen always new inspiration and it is a good place to clear the mind. But she photographs more than only seascapes. Foggy sunrises with a classic windmill or in a nature reserve are also her favorite. She doesn’t photograph only in the Netherlands, but also in other countries. Iceland and Madeira our favorite places to go to. She loves to go out during sunrise or sunsets and go hunting for the perfect light or sky. This means that you need to have knowledge about the weather forecast to predict the beautiful moments.

In her studies for her previous jobs, learning to teach was an important part. When she grow more and more into photography she decided to combine both worlds into giving workshops. Knowing how to teach people is a very important part of giving workshops. People have to feel comfortable and also having a good time. That way the learning part about photography, becomes a lot easier for them. Ellen gives workshops since 2015. She is also organizing photo tours to Iceland, Madeira, Tuscany, Dolomites and to Northern Spain. The workshops and photo tours are hosted by Dutch Photo Academy. Ellen is also the founder of that organization. Letting people enjoy photography and other countries gives her so much energy.

HOME BASE: INDIA

At 14 he took a few photos on a mobile phone. A few months later he walked into an electronics store and held a DSLR for the first time, only to be taken aback by all the numbers, icons and information on the screen. It was almost a year later that he got his first DSLR, a 1000D.

Now at 23, he is the first Indian photographer to shoot the grueling Dakar Rally in 2019 and also various rounds of the FIM Cross Country Rally Championship. He has worked with every automobile publication in the country, creating various editorial features, and has finally made a foray into the world of advertising.

Action Sports is not all about shooting these immensely hardworking athletes. For Ishaan, it is a cue to cultivate a fitter lifestyle, to ultimately be more efficient, and also to portray the inner feeling of every athlete in literally the truest form possible. Only if you ride a dirt bike on a motocross track, do you realize what every 20-minute moto demands physically and mentally. You have to feel it to understand what level of preparation these athletes bring to the sport. The better the level of understanding, the better the images. Well, at least most of the time.

Being a part of the Red Bull Content Pool team in India, his fundamentals are very clear on shortcuts and hard work. Dirt and adventure are the genres that drive him to do everything that is needed to translate the thoughts in his mind into reality!!
