I was born in 1977 in Eindhoven, located in the south of The Netherlands. Altough it's not my profession i've been experimenting with photography ever since i was a kid. While shooting sevaral years with a Nikon D65 analog camera i soon switched to the joy of digital photography. Started out with Sony and Panasonic I ended up with a Nikon D70 being my first digital SLR. After a diversity of photography directions (Landscapes, Sports, Concerts) i discovered the art of Urbex photography. Urbex, short for Urban Exploring is according to Wikipedia: The examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of urban areas or industrial facilities. So basically visiting and photographing abandoned buildings, tunnels, industry, castles etc.

In 2010 one of my dreams came trough when i visited the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone together with my girlfriend. Walking around in Pripyat - a city where 50.000 people used to live - is an amazing experience that will last a lifetime.

Now Equipped with my D700 i travel around europe to find and explore new forgotten locations

    "I met Niki on a urbex meeting and it clicked right away.
    Since then we cruise throught Europe together on a regulary basis.
    Niki is a social guy (never one second of silence ;-)), a great laugh
    and a tremendous photographer."
