Some journeys ask to be filmed.

The light, the sounds, the people you meet along the way — travel films that bring you back to the feeling of the place itself.

Franca Gielen with her camera
By Franca Gielen

More than taking photos — it connects you with everything around you.


Some moments and experiences are hard to explain with words. Through photography and videography, I discovered my creative expression. It encourages me to look at a place differently; from noticing different types of light during the day to determining the position of the stars and interacting with local people.

What clients say

“Franca captured our wedding on film, and we are really happy with the result! She made the film in such a way that we relive our wedding every time. During the ceremony she did her work unobtrusively. The processing of audio and image is great — and the video was delivered within two weeks. We really recommend Franca as a videographer!”
