THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE WORK

We’re a small, intentional team built on trust, creativity, and showing up fully, for each other and for every person who steps into our world. What we create goes far beyond visuals. It’s about how you feel during the process, how seen you feel, and how confidently you walk away knowing your story was told honestly.
 

We believe in doing things properly, with heart. We believe in growth, collaboration, and trusting the process, and most importantly, we believe in you.

Hi, I'm Bjorn

FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
BJORN SMIT PHOTO & FILM | BEYOND PRODUCTIONS

I am the heartbeat behind Bjorn Smit Photo & Film and the founder of Beyond Productions, a creative built from years of curiosity, growth, and showing up even when the path wasn’t clear yet.
 

With over 6 years of experience and 1,000+ shoots spanning lifestyle, weddings, editorials, and major brands, My approach is deeply people first. I don't just capture how things look, I try to capture how they feel. Calm moments, honest emotion, cinematic movement, and the quiet in between that often says the most.
 

Beyond client work, I co-owns The Create Haus, a collaborative studio space, and runs The Create Tour, a yearly workshop designed to pour back into the creative community. I believes in learning out loud, trusting the process, and building spaces where creatives feel safe to grow.
 

Curious by nature, grounded by experience, and always thinking about what’s next.

Hi, I'm Chanzel

CREATIVE PRODUCTION MANAGER
UGC CREATOR | INFLUENCER | BLOGGER

I am the reason everything flows.
 

I'm the strategic mind behind the scenes, bringing structure, clarity, and intention to every moving part. From timelines to logistics to creative planning, I ensure that ideas don’t just stay ideas, they become well executed realities.
 

With a background rooted in creativity and strategy with a corporate twist, I bridge the gap between vision and execution. I'm detail oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture, and calm under pressure in the moments that matter most.
 

I bring a modern edge to the team, helping shape systems, workflows, and experiences that allow creativity to thrive without chaos. My presence allows the rest of the team to focus on what they do best, knowing everything else is handled with care.
