Edmée van Rijn, born and raised in the Netherlands, is an experienced freelance camerawoman, editor, and producer working across the Middle East and beyond.

She has a background in anthropology, sociology, and international relations, after which she worked at the UN and the EU with a focus on the Middle East. She then went on to work as a consultant for different NGOs before venturing into journalism.

She turned her hobby into a profession and has photographed for different media as well as worked as a producer for TV series and documentaries.

Each winter, she travels to Norway to volunteer as a dog-sledding handler. During the summer, she rides horses, windsurfs, mountain bikes, and free-dives, amongst other outdoor activities.
