Welcome to Panacho Photography
I’m Mathieux Panacho, a 23 year-old photographer based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands with a specialization in photography in the automotive industry.
‘It is always important for me to make the viewer of the picture feel like they are there’
As a kid I sat down on the couch next to my dad watching the formula one races, completely fascinated by the speed, the sound, and the look of that red Ferrari driven by a certain Michael Schumacher.
The only thing I ever wanted to be from that moment was a racing driver, throughout my teenage years I however discovered that racing is fairly expensive so I let that dream go and found another hobby namely photography.
As a young car enthusiast my dad took me to different car events and as I grew older I found the urge for myself to capture these moments and the beautiful machinery that I saw at these different events. This is where my first bit of photography started. at the age of around 15 I had gotten myself a simple camera and enjoyed capturing the experiences I had at these car events.
For a long time I stayed with the simple Canon camera I had at the time, I ran a car themed instagram page which gathered a decent following, but then I started to think and discovered that I love capturing things, experiences or events in the best way possible and not only focussed on cars.
This is why I decided to save some money and in 2020 I bought myself a proper camera which I am using now to its fullest potential. Im still learning a lot as I am relatively new as a photographer, but if I take my camera somewhere and try and create that perfect shot, it is always important for me to make the viewer of the picture feel like they are there.
Since starting with Panacho Photography in 2022 I’ve had the honor to work with some amazing clients in the industry at events that a younger me could only ever dream of. I am truly humbled by the experiences I get to have through this work that I do and it only motivates me more to do better. I am more then excited to bring my previous experience and enthusiasm to your next project!
