Born in the Hague, Netherlands, partially educated at the Academy for Photography and the School of Arts and Design. "I am drawn to images, visual stimuli make a deep impression. I like to look at images, artworks, the sky, people’s faces, or the way light and shadow slide silently into the room. At some point, I felt that words couldn’t express to a full extent what I observed. Either I tried to explain too much or perhaps not enough. In my photography I try to create joined attention and somehow 'silence' the moment for a while. My photography is mainly in black and white. I feel it strengthens this focus and leaves the observation somehow timeless. "
