i'm a journalist, more and more becoming a photographer as well. my interest in journalism especially goes to social issues and... suprise, suprise, the photographer in me is attracted to those same issues.

Photography classes were part of my studies graphic design and journalism. I followed courses at the Fotoschool Rotterdam, daughter of the Fotoacademie and now I am a bachelor student Photography at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. Still I mainly became a photographer by taking my camera everywhere I go.

I love to make expressive portraits and both street and documentary photography. These photos show my background as a journalist. Also the graphic designer speaks through my work and leaves traces in my photography.

    "I could be held at gunpoint in the middle of a military checkpoint but still feel brave as long as she's by my side. It's a great honor to be her partner-in-photography, in sickness and in health (mostly sickness), in rich or poor (poor in most cases), til death do us part in a car bombing somewhere in the middle of a warzone.

    Great stuff, as always, and great person. My middle finger is always reserved for people who'd say otherwise."
