About

I'm a conceptual photographer based in Deventer, The Netherlands. As a conceptual photographer, my photography project always starts with amazement and wondering. Usually, this is about a socially relevant topic, such as the use of social media or the relationship between human and nature. I immerse myself in the subject and this story becomes the source of a new photography project. The new impulses of knowledge, the different views regarding the subject, the amazement about the daily and self-evident things and the challenge to capture the story in a single powerful image, give me inspiration. By presenting the discovered new insights in a surrealistically realistic way, I hope to evoke amazement by you as well.

With my images I try to stimulate the viewer to think about his own relationship or opinion with respect to the subject: what is my relationship with nature? How do I present myself on social media?

Can I help you capture a story in an image? Please let me know, and together we will go on a journey to the core of your story and the all-telling image. I’m looking forward to meeting you and getting amazed by your story!

All the work on my website is for sale, please contact me if you are interested.

My motto is "There is no such thing as reality, there is only perception".
