Vince

Photography & Creative Direction

Vince’s story begins with family roots in Breda, Holland, and a childhood in a small town in southwestern Ontario. Growing up around his family’s camera and photography store sparked a love of photography that led him to open and operate his own studio for many years.

His career later took him into the heating and air conditioning industry and other small business ventures, where he also managed marketing and branding. That experience gave him a practical understanding of what business owners need: a clear identity, a professional presence, and a straightforward way to connect with customers.

Following a recent accident that changed the direction of his life, Vince returned to the creative work he has always loved. Through Van Breda Studios, he now brings together his photography background and business experience to offer product photography, website development, and branding—with personal attention and an understanding of the people behind each business.
