Documentary Photography for Organisations with Impact 〰️
-
Visual storytelling for researchers, NGOs and ecology projects. With a background in ecology and marine biology, I translate research, fieldwork and conservation into imagery that informs and inspires. Whether documenting long-term projects or day-to-day fieldwork, my focus is on authentic storytelling that highlights purpose, process and impact
-
I create cinematic, atmospheric coverage that captures the energy, emotion and narrative of your event , festival or conference. Dynamic, authentic and ready for press, campaigns, socials or internal communication.

You need a photographer who understands your project, works independently and delivers consistently strong results. I’m here to help you tell your story with powerful imagery. Let’s discuss what you’re planning!
From major events to nature and scientific projects, I translate your moments into cinematic documentary imagery that communicates your purpose with clarity and impact. The result: visuals that resonate with your audience and elevate the story you want to tell. Worked on high end documentary series for commissioners like BBC Wildlife, Carré, Free Your Mind, Wageningen University, Aruba Tourism Authority, and more
About Jef Pattyn
Documentary photographer with 15 years of experience, published in BBC Wildlife Magazine and awarded at Wildlife Photographer of the Year. I create cinematic, honest imagery for events, researchers, NGOs and nature organisations.
I grew up surrounded by nature, always outside, always exploring. I became drawn to the outdoors, to adventure and to understanding how the world works. Later, that curiosity shifted toward people; their stories, their environments, the things they care about. Photography became the bridge between both worlds.
