About

Since my graduation on the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague in 1993, I work as a photographer. My body of work includes portraits and photo essays. In addition to the work on assignment, I also invest time in the development of autonomous projects.

My photographs have been published in numerous newspapers and magazines including Trouw, De Volkskrant, NRC, Het Financieele Dagblad, Het Parool, De Morgen, De Standaard, Tages-Anzeiger, Financial Times, Moesson, Vrij Nederland, HP/De Tijd, De Correspondent, De Groene Amsterdammer, EW Magazine, National Geographic.

I also have been shooting for clients such as ASML, Imec, ExxonMobil, Goodbaby International, World of Walas, Delta Lloyd, Tilburg University, ANP, COA, Amnesty International, DELA, Achmea, Fontys, Gemeente ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
