About
Ken Holtmaat
Videojournalist & Writer
When I am out on the street, my curiosity awakens. I capture the moment. Where am I, and what do I see? I like to explore and gather knowledge to better understand the world. That is why I became a journalist.
With a practical background and a love for creativity, activity, and development, I combine my skills as a video journalist. I have a visual thinking mind and enjoy discovering new things and connecting with different people.
Whether it’s a daily adventure creating a news item to inform or a longer project, I enjoy being in action and crafting a story. I like going out with the camera and seizing the moment, especially delving into subjects like culture, human beings, sports, and travel.
Traveling and exploring—these are my greatest passions in my spare time. It begins with the excitement before the adventure, whether preparing for a hike or bike tour in the neighborhood or traveling to an unknown destination. The feeling of freedom and not knowing what the day will bring lets me live in the present moment.
In the evening, I grab my notebook and jot down a few keywords to better remember the memories. I write about the landscapes, people I meet on the road, activities, and remarkable moments. I transfer my visual thoughts to paper to inspire the reader to create their own version of the story.
