About ten years ago I rediscovered the art of photography and since then I live my life through the lens. After more than fifteen years as an independent musician and teacher with a thriving company in the music business, it was enough. I burned my bridges and plunged into a new adventure. I took up the challenge to make photography my profession.
I am self-made by nature, so my learning path was a practical one. I got the chance to photograph for Bijenkorf, one of the leading warehouses in The Netherlands and that is where my (photo studio) school started. I took a leap and in recent years I photographed for major brands in various photo studios in the Netherlands and Germany.
Today I work as an independent photographer specialized in fashion, product, music photography and portraits, and as a freelance photography manager at I heart Studios in Amsterdam.
SUSTAINABILITY
I support sustainable brands and brands that contribute to change, to create a more beautiful world.
