For me, photography starts with curiosity, connection and a sense of adventure. I love meeting new people, exploring unfamiliar places and capturing moments as they naturally unfold. The less forced, the better.

Wine, music and travel play a big role in my life and often find their way into my work. From winery visits and concerts to business events, I enjoy capturing the people, craftsmanship and energy behind every experience.

My passion for wine also led me to become a team member of Dutch Wine Apprentice. Through this collaboration, I regularly photograph wine-related events and culinary experiences.

Alongside my photography, I work at Codarts Rotterdam, University of the Arts. Being surrounded by talented musicians, dancers and performers every day keeps my creativity alive and strengthens my appreciation for the arts in all their forms.

With a sharp eye for detail and a laugh that’s hard to miss, I aim to make every shoot feel relaxed and enjoyable. Good stories, passionate people and a little adventure. That's usually where my camera and I end up.
