A piece of history
Fotomatiz was founded in 2008, specializing in architectural, product, and press photography. The agency quickly gained traction, attracting a diverse clientele. As the workload grew, the team expanded, hiring photo assistants, lighting specialists, and post-production editors for larger projects.
In 2013, we broadened our offerings by partnering with a communication agency to create web-based content. Business flourished until the pandemic presented a challenge.
However, thanks to a loyal client base, Fotomatiz weathered the storm and is now back on track, offering a comprehensive range of photography and digital media services.

Fotomatiz by Jerome van Passel
Fotomatiz was founded by the Dutch photographer Jerome van Passel. His career began in front of the camera, a sought-after model for youth magazines. But it was behind the lens where his true passion ignited. A camera alway has been his constant companion, capturing life moments, and still has boxes full of travel stories and everyday observations on film.
The year 2003 marked a turning point. Trading analog for digital, he marveled at the instant gratification of the Nikon D100. Leading the marketing team at Cofrusa, a major Murcian food manufacturer at the time, the digital camera’s speed and quality revolutionized his approach. Product photography requests poured in, and soon, the Nikon was traded up for the versatility of Canon’s EOS series, ultimately culminating in the powerful 5D.
