Rockin' Pictures

Rockin' Pictures is a Dutch photography and film production brand founded by Robert Tjalondo, a Dutch-Indonesian photographer based in Rotterdam. The name reflects the founder's roots in concert photography, a background that shaped the brand's approach to capturing raw energy and decisive moments in fast-paced environments. Since 2010, Rockin' Pictures has applied that same dynamic, documentary-style eye to corporate events, international conferences and executive portraits across the Netherlands and Europe. The brand's core services span event photography, portrait photography, cinemagraph creation and long-form documentary visual storytelling. Its client roster includes corporates, NGOs and event agencies, with named clients such as Erasmus University, L'Oréal, UN Women, Euronext, the Dutch Red Cross, Anne Frank House, One.org, GAIN, the University of Amsterdam, DP World, WE Fashion, Ford, Elsevier, the Dutch Film Festival, Rotterdam Festivals, Gemeente Rotterdam, Money 20/20, Enlit Europe, Clarion Events, Sijthoff Media, ZonMw, the Ministry of the Interior, NIOD and IRC International Water. This mix positions Rockin' Pictures at the intersection of corporate communications, institutional storytelling and editorial portraiture. Alongside commissioned work, Rockin' Pictures is associated with Faces of Rotterdam, a long-term documentary portrait project created by Tjalondo that explores identity and belonging across the 170+ nationalities that shape the city. The project premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) in 2025 and has been featured by national media including RTL 4, NPO Radio 1 and Algemeen Dagblad. This project illustrates the brand's expansion from commercial assignment work into authored documentary and cultural production. Rockin' Pictures operates as a private, founder-owned brand rather than a publicly listed company. Its positioning emphasises natural, present and character-driven imagery, combining a documentary eye with a refined, precise approach. The brand is based in Rotterdam and available for commissions across the Netherlands and Europe.
