Freelance Photographer Rudy van Duijnhoven: photography in her most beautiful form!
Whether pictures of product are concerned, illustrations that can be used for an article or annual report, photos of different methods of fishing and numerous destinations in Europe and the world, at Freelance Photography Rudy van Duijnhoven you will find what you need.
The writing and translation of articles, brochures and websites on sport fishing, from the German or English language into Dutch, requires a large knowledge of sport fishing; knowledge that can not be found at a ‘regular’ translating bureau.
Next to that, Rudy van Duijnhoven does give presentations, workshops and courses on fly casting, fly fishing and fly tying: starters courses, workshops on advanced techniques and on special fly fishing techniques or methods.
