The flying photographer
Ever since my first training flights as a student pilot, I was awestruck by the perspectives from above. Determined to share those views with the rest of the world, I soon started carrying a small camera with me whenever I went up in the air.
These were the first entries in my logbook and my earliest steps in the world of photography.
Today, twenty years after those first flights, I am captain on the Boeing 747 and still carry my camera with me at all times. Always ready to immortalize the world from above and share my images online and in print.
Like Buzz Aldrin said after coming back from the moon:
“We need to have people up there who can communicate what it feels like, not just pilots and engineers.”
One photo at a time.
The Flying Dutchman with a camera.

Certificate of Authenticity
Each Limited Edition artwork includes a Certificate of Authenticity to guarantee it is a genuine Van Heijst product.
The Certificate of Authenticity contains detailed information about the print, its size and materials and is signed by the artist. A holographic seal with a unique number corresponds with a second, identically numbered hologram that is found on the back of the print, so an owner can register the unique copy online to prevent forgery.
The combination of certificate and hologram assures that each Certificate of Authenticity relates to one particular piece of art which can be registered on myartregistry.com
Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Limited Edition Print
All images in the Limited Edition series come in three series;
- Premium Edition - 6 prints (70 x 39,60 cm)
- Collectors Edition - 3 prints (100 x 56,50 cm)

Artist Proof (AP) 3 times.
Once the print has reached it's final number, the source-file is deleted and no more prints of that photo will be produced ever again.
This guarantees the exclusive nature of the Limited Edition prints. -
What is an Artist Proof (AP)?
Three Artist Proof (AP) prints are created from each image as a test product or for my private use.
They might come in various sizes and materials, but are always numbered so they will never be printed more than three times to ensure the exclusive nature of the photo. -
How much do Limited Edition Prints cost?
