Ron Gessel, a former art director who worked at renowned agencies such as FHB BBDO, Lowe and BvH, Ron always had a creative spark within him. But it was only about 15 years ago that he took the step to completely change his career and become a photographer.

There were undoubtedly doubts and challenges in the beginning, but Ron soon found his calling in the world of photography. His talent for visual storytelling, shaped by his experience as an art director, proved to be an invaluable asset in his new profession.

His years of experience as an art director and his sharp observation skills allow him to subtly capture the essence of city life in his photos.

Ron Gessel is a storyteller, always looking for that one moment, that one glimpse of emotion or beauty that remains hidden from others. His journey from art director to photographer has not only brought him a new career, but also given him the freedom to express his creativity in a way that fulfills and inspires him.
