I’m a Dutch photographer and I specialize in staged photography, frequently using social themes as a basis for the works. I like to create my own world.
I specifically enjoy highlighting certain aspects and ignoring others, a way in which I aim to influence the viewer’s gaze. In a painterly fashion I create portraits of people, still lifes of flowers and dead animals.
It is an ongoing quest for beauty and inner strength. In a subtle way something or someone unveils a certain message.
I draw the viewer in, but leave it up to them to discover the more universal aspect of the story.
