I am originally from the Netherlands and since 2003 I live in Quebec city, Canada. Photography for me has gradually grown to be an essential component in my life. My father gave me my first camera (Seagull df-300) with several lenses when I was 15 and ever since then I have been trying to understand and create images that please me and other.
The feeling and basis of photography for me;
Photography for me is more than a passion, more like an essential component of my life which allows me to quench that thirst and will of creating something that I like to look at......and need to share.....it seems that the more I do it, the more I see things around me that I want to photograph and become nearly restless if I don't. I initially started in photographing more landscape and nature photography (macro and other) especially during my period in Iceland (2001-2003). I moved to Quebec in 2003 where I have started experimenting with studio work as well as the basic darkroom techniques. In 2008 I made the big step from 35 mm film( Canon EOS 5) to digital (Canon 40D) facilitating post-processing techniques and helping enormously in becoming more prolific.
What drives me in photography;
seeing beautiful images around me on flickr, in magazines, newspapers and those made by my favorite authors. My major drive, however, comes from inside me......the more experience I gather in photography through time, the more ideas I seem to have, ideas that are eager to be executed.
The fun for me in photography;
I really enjoy taking images in my studio and making the people in front of the lens feel at ease.....may it be a pregnant mother or couple, a newborn or a complete family. I enormously enjoy and am becoming experienced in wedding photography; from the preparations to the tossing of the bouquet, I'm there to capture those unforgettable moments. I have been doing so for more than three years now. I have always had an urge to share my work as a photographer and put my passion to use. I have therefor set up PhotoTB.
About PhotoTB;
With passion for photography as a background, PhotoTB is a company designed for corporate, wedding and small studio photography primarily for the region of Quebec (Québec city and surroundings). Speaking English, Spanish, French, Dutch and Icelandic I could also be a valuable and useful photographer for weddings (or other projects) in the United Stated, Europe, Central and South America upon demand.

Considering that the basis of my passion in photography has been always been more the artistic type of photography I am looking for representation.
