My photography starts with people — their gestures, their emotions, their rituals — and moves outward from there.
In my street, travel, and documentary work, I'm drawn to moments of community and joy, to special surroundings, and to that quiet instant in a crowd that somehow conveys a special message. In my art-nude work, the body is displayed as an invitation to look and reflect. I use these images to tell stories and to provoke viewers to challenge their beliefs and assumptions. My conceptual work takes a different approach: found objects, unexpected pairings, and compositional tension is used to trigger emotions. In my "songs" series, I show what comes to mind when I hear music that matters to me. Across all of my photography, I try to find a balance between intimacy and distance. Close enough to feel familiar, but strange enough to stay with you. And I don't want viewers to simply see what I saw — I want them to find something of their own in these series. Back in 2019, I was honored to be chosen as a finalist in the Ed van der Elsken "Lust for Life" competition, organized by the Netherlands Fotomuseum. My own "lust for life" is the driver of many of these images. A catalogue with a complete listing of most of the series posted on this site can be downloaded here.
