Jasper de kloet is a Los Angeles based
Director of Photography. Born & raised in Amsterdam, Holland.
 
An image-making practice is what Jasper likes to call it. 
The ongoing craft of moving image is a craft that wants to be practiced constantly. 
Jasper hand-prints photographs and goes out to find the light that will later end up in your project.

Director of Photography for the last eight years across music videos, commercials, and narrative short- and long-form projects.

There is much to be said in a moving image, or so little. 
Jasper weighs the importance of production value on another level. He feels when to be nimble and small, 
and when to let the story lead the way. Complex situations always arise within a film, but with the right amount of planning, 
he will find the best frame. He strives to protect an intuitive and spontaneous way of working.

You will find Jasper researching paintings, their evocative nature, and why the eye goes where it goes. 
He seeks coherent abstraction and deeper meaning. 
Directors such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Alex van Warmerdam, and Ingmar Bergman are deep inspirations.

Last but not least, Jasper is a people person. No ego takes part in creation. 
He wants to hear ideas, welcome collaboration, and isn't afraid to take the 
opposite approach when the story calls for it.
