Welcome to my world of North Sea photography

I’m Jop Hermans, a photographer drawn to the ever-changing moods of the ocean. From quiet, pastel sunsets to powerful breaking waves, almost entirely shot along the shores of Scheveningen. My goal is simple: to share the raw beauty of the North Sea with those who feel connected to it.

  • SURF SESSION MAG - PORTFOLIO ITEM

    The Eye Below Sea Level

    This collaboration with the leading French surf magazine was a highlight. An extensive portfolio item in a beautifully designed magazine.

    For me a huge compliment that they decided to run a series of not necessarily shots of people surfing, but choose to release an artistic series with surfing is a subject in different settings.

    Jop knows better than anyone how to make art out of surf photography. When you order something, he personally ensures that everything is arranged super well.

    When I first saw Jop's photos, the style and atmosphere in his photos really appealed to me. I contacted Jop by phone and opted for a photo print on 1mm PVC because of the durability of the photo. It looks great and hangs nicely!!
