After more than three decades of creative exploration, I re-immersed myself in the world of fine-art, landscape, and architectural photography. I studied photography and animation at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam (1991–1995) and at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York (1993). Recently I recently completed the Expert Program in Strengthening Visual Storytelling at the Fotoacademie Amsterdam (2023).

My independent work

I am a fine-art photographer drawn to landscape as a human environment, observing how society interacts with it, how it is used or sometimes abused, and the traces we leave behind. I watch how places are taken or given back to nature, exploring areas where one use of the landscape overlaps with another, including the metaphorical wastelands in between, sometimes intended, sometimes not. I observe and filter elements out of reality, trying to find the unusual within the usual. Once filtered from reality and executed in technical perfection, my work becomes independent, self-contained and detached from where it was taken. I work digitally but with an analogue mindset, predominantly framing shots in camera rather than in post production. My work seldom depends on the "decisive moment." Humans are often absent from my work; when included, they almost always become the dominant subject and a distraction from the intention. I take my time to consider each shot and limit image manipulation to stay true to the authenticity of the moment. In that sense, details are extremely important to me.

My work has been published, among others, in Atlas of Ruins, Vol. I and De Architect, no. 1 (2025). Most recently, I participated in the group exhibition We Are Dreamers at Ballon Rouge, where I presented my work Sun-day. One of my works from Arctic Living was selected as a finalist and received an Honorable Mention in the Architecture category of the Berlin Photo Awards 2025.
