I've always been a very visual person, and visual art runs in my family.

Photography has been my passion since I was able to use a (digital) camera. I started taking pictures of flowers and my cats, in and around the garden. Soon after, I started using my sister as a model. We styled her in the most outrageous outfits and applied crazy make-up. It ignited something in me.

More than just a photographer, I am also a creative director, in the sense that I can take on the process from 'some ideas' to fully realized images by myself. I shoot a lot of self-portraits where I take on the role of creative director, photographer, make-up artist, hair stylist, stylist, and model. I am however very happy when I work with other make-up artists and stylists. It gives me space to focus on the other parts, and I love how each person just brings more passion to pour into the project.

It is important to me to empower my audience, clients, and models. So many people have to deal with pressure and insecurities in their daily life, and I want my work to be something exciting, inspiring, and empowering. You will always see diversity in my portfolio, as I find it important to make as many people as possible feel represented.

I find inspiration in everything around me. A conversation, an artistic dance video, a flower, a walk while I daydream, or listening to music while taking a shower. At any given time, inspiration can strike and ideas for new images get stored in the back of my head. A shoot is a creative process. Of course, on many occasions, everything will be planned out beforehand, but when a creative team gets together, creative juices start to flow and beautiful things happen.
