My name is Ilse Hoenson. I am a Dutch photographer based on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium, near Lommel. 
I'm a typically tall Dutchie that you’ll usually find somewhere between a flying bike and a cloud of dirt with a camera in my hand. 
With over 20 years of racing experience myself, I know what it feels like to chase speed and eat dust. But in the end, the camera won over the dirtbike. So since the beginning of 2025, I started to be more serious with photography. 
That moment when everything lines up at the starting gate, that's what I live for.
The riders, the adrenaline, the emotion. I capture it, frame by frame, and freeze it forever.
The photos speak for themselves, and that’s the magic of photography I love most.
Let's see what future we can capture.
