Born in the Netherlands, I picked up a camera at the age of 11, in 2003, and never really put it down. What started as curiosity grew into a way of life. Today, photography and film are the tools I use to explore the world and the people in it.

My work moves between stills and motion, commissioned projects and long-term personal stories, and has taken me from remote mountain ranges to dense cities. I consider myself a visual storyteller, drawn to both the power of a single image and the deeper narratives that unfold through film.

Personal projects play a central role in my practice. They allow me to slow down and connect more deeply. One of the projects closest to me is The Mountain Men: a four-year documentation of a group of men surviving deep in the American wilderness, captured through all seasons. The project eventually became a 240-page book blending photography, story, and history, and received numerous international awards.

I love working with crews, building trust, and shaping ideas into images that feel human, cinematic, and honest. My visual style is grounded and atmospheric, often centered on real people, strong environments, and a sense of narrative — images that go beyond the surface and leave space for interpretation.

If you’d like to work together, feel free to reach out.
I’d love to hear about what we can create.
