Who am I?
I am a self-taught architecture, street and documentary photographer from the land of clogs, cheese, tulips and windmills also known as the Netherlands.
My journey into visual storytelling began in 2005 when I studied animation & motion design. 15 years later, I would eventually pick up a camera and discover the world of photography & videography.
For my trip to South Africa, I bought a camera and returned from the bush with a different bug bite.
“I often wander through the city for hours. Seeking the visible that is often invisible to others. With every click, I try to capture this invisibility, to reveal it, so that I gradually discover a new layer in both the city and my work”.
