SYO.MEDIA
Hi, I’m Syo van Vliet!
Since 2006, I’ve been deeply involved in extreme sports as both an athlete and, from 2008 onward, as a photographer and videographer. Picking up a camera became my way into the media world, where I discovered the same thrill capturing the action as I felt participating in it. Striking a balance between riding and shooting gives me a unique perspective—one that reflects a true rider’s eye.
In late 2017, I moved to Austria to immerse myself in the heart of the action, surrounded by the Alps’ endless opportunities. Being outside, whether shooting or riding, has always been my passion, and I’m lucky enough to call it my job.
I’ve worked with incredible clients like Red Bull, iXS, Burton Snowboards, DarkFest, Ghost Bikes, Bataleon Snowboards, and The Legs of Steel, as well as capturing world-class events such as Masters of Dirt, Crankworx, and The Nines. And who knows—maybe your brand could be next?
Whether your project needs a small, agile crew or a large production team, I’m ready to make it happen. My experience spans both photography and videography, giving me a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to collaborate effectively in a mixed-media crew. I know how to ensure both departments have the space and time they need to create their best work, making me not just a creator but also a team player who brings out the best in every project.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or ideas.
