As a photographer, I'm always looking for that extraordinary image. Capturing and telling the story in a compelling way.
When I take photos for others, my ambition is to choose those moments with the most meaning. People, emotions, natural and spontaneous - that's what I'm looking for. And it gives me great satisfaction to present it in a way that truly touches the viewer.
I love variety! Sports and other events, special encounters. Nature and street photography, urban exploration shots, far-off countries, people from different cultures.
I've been photographing since my youth. It started as a child with my mother's camera. After graduating college, I got my first SLR camera. Later, I joined various photography clubs and took courses in creative photo exploration, including with Jan van Rijn in Alphen.
In recent years, I've focused on the story behind the photo. From a trip to Nepal, we held an exhibition to bring positive attention back to the country. As a member of PWB (Photographers Without Borders), I went to Chajul in the highlands of Guatemala. There, I experienced how to document social changes in primitive conditions with the aim of improving them. I've done photo editing and/or photography for various books.
I've been shooting digitally with Sony cameras for over 25 years. I enjoy evolving with the increasing possibilities to capture what you see. For aerial shots, I have my drone certificate and use drones; always having a 120-meter tripod at hand!
In my assignments, I focus on nature and nature experience, events, sports competitions, and occasionally weddings or funerals. Always looking for creative challenges related to photography.
