Photographer & Visual Designer

ABOUT ME
JENNIFER VAN GENT (1998)
Bachelor of Arts · Master of Arts
I am a forward-thinking visual creative with a background in art, research, design, photography, and media culture. My work is driven by a passion for integrating diverse media and subjects to create distinctive visual narratives that connect concept, culture, and audience.
Based in Amsterdam, I am passionate about travel, exploring new cultures, and learning new languages. I draw inspiration from events, museums, and nature, and I continuously seek new experiences that inform and enrich my creative practice.
I hold a Bachelor of Design in Image and Media Technology from HKU Utrecht and an Academic Master’s degree in Art and Media Culture from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Through my academic journey, I developed a strong understanding of the intersection between art, society, and the environment, which is an approach that consistently informs my work.
Professionally, I have experience as an Allround Designer, Photographer, Art Director and Community Manager, where I managed photography, graphic design, video content, and social media strategy. I am particularly motivated by making artistic and cultural concepts accessible to a broader audience through clear, engaging, and thoughtful visuals.
Alongside my professional roles, I work freelance as an allround photographer, specifically interested in event, travel and fashion photography. I am known for being hardworking, flexible, and solution-oriented, with a strong eye for details and storytelling. I thrive in both collaborative environments and independent projects, always aiming to deliver meaningful and visually compelling work.
