Evelin is a Dutch, neurodivergent cinematographer & visual artist, hailed by British Cinematographer Magazine as part of the New Wave in 2019. She was invited to join BAFTA as Full Voting Member in 2021, and received the Angénieux Special Encouragement Award at Cannes Film Festival in 2022, which recognises next-generation cinematographic talent. In February 2023 she was welcomed into the Netherlands Society of Cinematographers, and in May the Apple TV+ series 'Bad Sisters' she photographed won the BAFTA for Best Drama Series. Evelin is currently based in London, and shoots commercials and films worldwide.
She is well-known for her intuitive and distinctive imagery, both still and moving. Visceral, textured, intricate, and reminiscent of tenebrism qualities in paintings. She is instinctively drawn to darker stories which unearth the complexities, psychology and fragility of our human existence, psyche, and behaviour. In addition to her love for cinema as an art form and the eternal qualities of the photographic image, she’s a passionate environmentalist, biophilic, activist, progressive, yogi, traveller of Planet Earth, and an advocate for protecting physical and mental well-being.
