In my photo series, I strive to capture and convey visual narratives that resonate with viewers on an emotional level. Whether seizing a spontaneous moment or constructing scenes with models and props, my photography aims to address the many questions about how we live our lives that come to mind. Each person has a story to tell and each has the ability to ignite the imagination. The extraordinary diversity in sizes, shapes, colors, and expressions makes people the ideal raw material for exploring virtually any topic. I'm especially drawn to capturing moments of joy and excitement in my photo series, which is why I particularly enjoy taking photos at festivals, markets, parades, sporting events, jazz concerts, and countless other places where people come together to enjoy life. When the subject is the human body, I strive to showcase its individual character, and to use it as a way to direct people's attention, address social issues, or to infuse irony and humor. I'm also drawn to experimental techniques, such as projection-portraits, in which digital images are projected onto models in a darkened studio. The resulting projection photos highlight the role of the muse as a source of artistic inspiration. As an occasional participant in photo contests, I was thrilled to be chosen as a finalist in the 2019 Ed van der Elsken "Lust for Life" competition, organized by the Nederlands Fotomuseum. I believe that it is this "lust for life" that inspires my best photos. I'm always open to collaboration. Guidelines for working together on a TFP (time for print) basis can be found here.
