I’ve been taking photos since I was a child. With a grandpa and an uncle shooting for newspapers, and a dad who is an avid hobby photographer, you could say it runs in the family.
My passion for photography was reignited around 2008 when I got my first Digital Camera. Although I love the look and feel of analogue photography, I am a big fan of the optimised workflow digital photography can offer. I’ve been contemplating a long time what my photography is about.
I shoot people, I shoot street, I shoot people in and off the street. So what is it? I shoot life!
But I also love the stillness of landscapes, the bizarre glass and concrete jungle that is architecture.
I also love to travel. I'm not into the all-inclusive sipping cocktails by the pool kind of travel, though. I love to immerse myself in local culture. Be in a place completely, with heart, mind and soul. Go where the locals go when they are done working, and roam around the back alleys until I feel I’m lost. And then, of course, finding my way back again.The combination of photography and travel is what gets my heart going. Wherever I go, I always have one or two cameras with me, because you never know what opportunity you might run into.
When getting lost in a city I love doing some street photography and portraiture. I love the challenge of finding that one great shot, that cool situation, or that great person you just have to shoot.
I travel around Europe regularly with friends to find abandoned beauty and create art for my long-running project, the Colors of Impermanence.
And of course, I love connecting with people. Go for coffee, get to know people, and create beautiful, real-people photography. Don’t expect any glamour or beauty shots. I’m interested in the real you, in photographing your essence. My photography isn’t about me, it’s about you! if you need photos, you can contact me here.
