new work for @numero_netherlands 🤎 Grounded in deep R&B and a strong commitment to self-expression, @ri.mon has always moved with intention. This time, dressed in full @hm , she moves in play. The game is musical chairs… with a twist. Playful, unpredictable, nostalgic, a little surreal - guided by instinct and imagination, it embodies the freedom to explore new energies and step into new versions of yourself without explanation.

A special one for @leonbridges , made together with @pullmannova . We joined Leon at one of his shows, going in without a clear plan. We just observed and let the experience guide us. I love commercial projects that are meticulously planned, but these spontaneous adventures hold a special place in my heart because they’re how I got into this game in the first place. Thanks to @pullmannova for the connect, trusting, and creating this with me. More life. Produced by Pullmannova Directed, shot & edit: Keanu Haumahu @darkmatterventures Photography & Additional footage: Pullmannova

Excited to share this special project. After working together for a bit, @eefjedevisser and I quickly realized we like the same things creatively, so working on this felt like a true breeze. In this project our visions came together very organically, making this such a special one for me. Eefje is incredibly talented, not just musically, but in envisioning her whole creative world and style. Feeling grateful I can work with talented and creative people that have such a unique and own way of expressing themselves. After shooting in the beautiful @gaeastudio_ I was physically exhausted, yet mentally completely charged. A reminder of how meaningful this work is to me. It is a form of expression, and the older I become, the more I am working on this form of expression to be built around genuine connections I make with the people I work with. Special thank you to @pjderobot_robotstudios for creating the beautiful ethereal soundscape that glues this vision together, and to @wannes.salome that made it to the studio very last minute to record ‘Hoor je het hart kloppen’ live. — Directed by – Keanu Haumahu Production – @darkmatterventures Director of Photography (DOP) – @rwijnheijmer 1st AC – @jellebokelmann 2nd AC – @mikeherman_ac Steadicam Operator – Ruben Wijnheijmer Gaffer – @quintijnmaas Best Girl – Kim van der Blom Edit & Grade – Keanu Haumahu Title Design – Vibe Stalpaert @zwartpaart Shot at – @gaeastudio_ Choreo: @titi_galeyn Styling: @atelierandeweg BEELD HANGT STIL Drums – Simon Segers @segers.simon Bass – Boris van Overschee @borisbass Soundscapes, synths & programming – Pieterjan Coppejans @pjderobot_robotstudios Vocals, guitar, arrangement & programming – Eefje de Visser Mastering – Matt Colton @puttingitonwax Lyrics & music by – Eefje de Visser Produced by – Pieterjan Coppejans & Eefje de Visser Recorded & mixed by – Pieterjan Coppejans at Robot Studios Gent Vertaling: Chris Doyle, Lynn Koek @chris.doyle.music  @lynn.productions HOOR JE HET HART KLOPPEN Met speciale dank aan @gibsonguitarnl Vocals & guitar – Eefje de Visser Lyrics & music by – Eefje de Visser Recorded by – Wannes Salomé Assisted by – Loes Bisschop Mixed by Pieterjan Coppejans

Presenting some of my favorite moments from @naomisharon liveshow at Paradiso for the final stop of her 2025 European tour. This project was a special one, as I was joined by several of the same talented people from my very first collaboration with Naomi back in 2020. I directed this one using only in-camera effects to match the raw, incredible power of Naomi’s vocals. Naomi is one of the most incredible vocalists I know and have had the pleasure to work with, which made capturing this performance even more exciting. Special thank you to @jasper.djosa and the team @ovosound for the trust over the past years. Feeling grateful. Full version available on Naomi her YouTube channel. You can see a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes process on my reels page. —— Directed by Keanu Haumahu @darkmatterventures Technical Production by @jellebokelmann Camera operator @rwijnheijmer Camera operator @jellebokelmann Camera operator @dennis.habraken Camera operator @creative.onzeiraj Gear supply @miltenburgav Mixed by @thomasvopstal & @paulgaastra Mastering by @zinomikoreymastering

We went fully analog for Eefje’s latest music video. The song was written years ago, but only recently found its true shape. The first time I heard it, I knew it needed a visual world with an analog soul. Together with @eefjedevisser , we created a video that carries that retro warmth. Grateful as always to work alongside you, Eefje.

At Lowlands this year I met up with @lisakorver_ and her friends and tagged along to see Chris Stussy together and capture Lisa her show. Lately I’ve been really enjoying going back to the basics, camera in hand, run and gun type shooting to then puzzle something together in the edit. It feels like hobby-ing, how this whole journey started in the first place. Grateful for all the opportunities and people I’ve met the past year!! Special SO to @st_mcguire #morelife

Presenting ‘Onomkeerbaar’, marking the beginning of chapter two in @eefjedevisser ’s double album Heimwee, set to be released later this year. For this project, Eefje drew inspiration from vintage workout videos. Together with everyone involved, we crafted a piece that pulses with retro energy and rhythm. It is honestly always a pleasure working with Eefje and her team, and I’m truly grateful we get to create together. Excited to see chapter two of Heimwee unfold in the coming months ahead.

this song on repeat, walking around, camera in hand. being fully present, observing to capture and capturing to observe. photography has always been a form of grounding for me. it’s about finding those fleeting moments where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. it has the quiet power to infuse a moment with nostalgia and a sense of mystery. noticing how light bends and reflects, what lines you can find, and to catch what subtle emotions are on display in everyday gestures. to me, it’s about preserving the impermanence of a moment, while inviting the viewer to linger in its liminality.
