Jaap Buitendijk’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Jaap Buitendijk was born in the Year of the Dog. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dog are loyal, faithful, honest, distrustful, often guilty of telling white lies, temperamental, prone to mood swings, dogmatic, and sensitive. Dogs excel in business but have trouble finding mates. Compatible with Tiger or Horse.
Jaap Buitendijk grew up in Holland. He travelled extensively as a teenager and moved to Britain in 1990. It was during his travels that he first picked up a camera and began to grow his passion for photography.
He studied documentary photography at Newport School of Art and here he explored the apparent contradiction of using documentary skills to record an artificial reality; that of films. He was awarded a first class honours degree and the Fuji Professional Award for Film Stills, in 1996.
Since then Jaap has established himself as an experienced stills photographer, with a reputation for looking beyond the obvious. At home on sets of major productions such as Gladiator, Harry Potter and Hugo, as well as smaller projects such as In Bruges, The Constant Gardener and Girl With A Pearl Earring, his work shows versatility and commitment to the still photography of cinema and the fascinating opportunity to capture the mechanics of film making itself.
Away from film sets, Jaap is an avid restorer of classic cars and a founding producer of NoAgendoadaShow.com, an open source internet radio project.
