Hello!

I’m Photo-coco

also known as Hanneke van Beek

I love to go places, nearby and far away.
Exploring. Connecting. Being in seeing. Taking pictures.
Working and playing all over the world.
Previously guiding you to personal magic in your photography.
Live. And online in The School of Magic in Photography.

Photo-coco ® was born from pure love
Love for visual beauty in our world.
Love for our different ways of being and seeing.
Love for photography and creativity.
And that’s why all Photo-coco® workshops and programs are passionate celebrations of beauty, personal perception and photography.

As a coach and companion I guided Curious Souls to personal magic in photography.
Curious Souls like you. Your unique perception’ll be in the picture.

It’s my joyful mission to share and multiply love, beauty and magic in photography all over the world.
Languages of communication: visual language, English, Dutch.

For me photography is about experiencing moments of deep joy.
Being open to beauty makes me see and feel deeply and differently, also in other areas of life.
It enhances my sensitivity to the unique qualities of a place, situation or person.

Having a camera with me intensifies the experience of beauty. That in itself makes me happy.
I tend to lose track of time while being present for visual surprises. Just following my feeling
and paying attention to what somehow stops me on my way is such an effortless, joyful process.
And the pictures are the icing on the cake.

My smartphone is my most important gear nowadays.
Yes, I trust my iPhone to do most of the job my “big boy” camera and lenses used to do.
Lightweight, always at hand, simple and performing miracles.
Its camera contributes greatly to joy and gratitude in my everyday life.
The only drawback is that this camera not only takes pictures, but also rings.

We all have our smartphone at hand at all times.
The very same device that often pulls us out of the moment
also offers us a special way to stay in the moment.
It’s smart camara makes it possible to capture precious moment in a picture effortlessly.

Love it; the joy of photography is within reach for everyone.
Most technical obstacles are out of our way.
No technical knowledge, heavy lifting or big spending needed anymore.
We can completely relax and focus on seeing what touches us…

Let’s kiss our world beautiful together!
