Visuals that feel. Stories that stick.
From land to sea, I create visuals that move between surf culture, storytelling, and high-end production all grounded in my deep connection with the ocean.
-
I’m Tania Buijen, a photographer and visual storyteller. Passionate about the ocean and a certified divemaster, I capture surf, underwater, and coastal moments inspired by the wild beauty of the sea. Over time, I have been building a body of work that explores not only surf culture, but also fashion, weddings, and Campaigns shoot.
-
My work is about emotion, connection, and timeless stories that carry the spirit of the ocean and the freedom it inspires. Sometimes raw, sometimes ethereal, always instinctive and poetic.
-
I don’t shoot just to feed algorithms or fill empty content calendars. For me, there’s a real difference between content made for trends and art made to last.
