(2018) Next year I am working for 30 years in a local court in the Netherlands. And although it is the most interesting job I can imagine, after so many years I needed a new challenge. And that I found in the photography. What started with making photos of family and friends, developped to travelling on my own to Lissabon, Barcelona, Madrid, Dublin, London … with the only aim to look around all the day with the camera as my mate. The excitement to fixate a whole life in a split second is every time there when I make photos and watch them afterwards. Thanks to Henri Senders (www.henrisenders.nl) I learned a lot about modelling photography. As making street photos is a matter of being alert for that one moment, working with a model is like working in a laboratory; I love both ways of discovering everytime again the uniqueness and authentic beauty of the persons I make photographical contact with.

(update January 2020): I decided to try to follow a plan. That plan is to choose some photos out of a shoot and post them day after day. My great inspirator for this is Pierre Gély-Fort (photodilettante; you can find him on Flickr). The emphassis is less on individual images as being beautiful, sensational or just nice, but more on the context of a person (model) and process. I think it is less attractive to watch, while we all like new things all the time. Otherwise it will invite the viewer to look deeper and broader in finding common themes and different sides of the same person or subject. For me it is harder to do because I am afraid to bore you and to disappoint my faithfull followers. A decision that is made in combination of this, is that I will make it impossible to comment on photos. It is not that I don't like comments or am not flattered by them, but just that they make me nervous and give me the feeling I have to respond you or gonna comment your photos too. When you really wanna communicate about something, feel free to sent me a message. Hope for your understanding and hope you will enjoy my photos.
