At Craftsmen, our approach is a harmonious blend of meticulous research and creative vision, orchestrated by the collaborative efforts of writer Yuri van Koeveringe and photographer David de Jong.

​

Yuri, as our dedicated writer, delves deep into the historical context of each car, exploring not only its mechanical attributes but also its cultural significance during the era it was born. Recognizing the intertwining relationship between culture and automotive development, Yuri's thorough research adds a layer of depth to our narratives, whether we're discussing classic cars or modern counterparts. This allows us to reveal not just the mechanical evolution, but also the societal influences that shaped each vehicle.

​

Meanwhile, David takes the reins on the visual and photographic aspects of our projects. His keen eye for detail extends beyond the cars themselves. David meticulously seeks out appropriate locations, considering factors like lighting, ambiance, and thematic relevance. This extends to the choice between studio settings or on-location shoots, with the ultimate goal of creating a visual narrative that aligns seamlessly with the written content.

​

As a team, we collaborate closely to ensure that every element, from text to visuals, aligns cohesively. Our projects come together like an intricate puzzle each piece contributing to the overall look and feel of the book. Just as historical culture influenced classic cars, our contemporary society shapes the modern vehicles we showcase. Through the lens of Yuri's well-researched narratives and David's evocative visuals, we invite readers to explore the past and present of automotive innovation, culture, and craftsmanship.
