About me and my work
Photography is much more than a hobby for me — it is the way I view the world. From my home near Amsterdam, I am constantly searching for images that often remain hidden in the everyday. What may be a building or street for one person becomes for me a play of lines, light, structures, and shapes.
In recent years, I have developed intensively through courses, workshops, and guidance from renowned photographers. But the most important lessons I learned by looking endlessly: lingering at a place until a new reality becomes visible.
Architecture plays a major role in this. The longer you look at a building, the more it reveals itself. Beams of light transform into figures, ornaments appear like waves, shadows create unexpected geometry. Through my lens, a building undergoes a subtle metamorphosis, resulting in an image that balances between reality and abstraction.
My photography is characterized by calm, simplicity and alienation. I search for compositions in which all elements are in harmony with each other and in which space arises for wonder and interpretation. Much of my abstract work I create with an analog camera. I then scan the large negatives to further process them digitally, while preserving the analog character. Recently, my work has been developing further towards narrative series. From the abstract world I previously created, images now emerge with an almost cinematic atmosphere, in which people increasingly play the main role.
