I Was born in 1974 in a very small town in the Netherlands. As a child I grew up in between the woods. Nature and animals always attracted me. In 2023 I had a car-accident and held over a Whiplash. I decided to do something for myself this time and started at the Fotoacademie in Amsterdam to become a photographer. July 2025 I passed my examination at the Fotoacademie. For my examination I started a project called Creative vs. Creature. In this project I combine fashion with animal portraits to tell a little story with it. Zebra stripes is part of this project. With this serie I would like to achieve that people can see we are much more related to nature than we most of the time think. Our behaviour and animalbehaviour are much more equal. We have to respect nature. I like to make photos in a setting that is pure and is what it is. To combine natureshoots with fashion I can express myself. For my project I make studioportraits but also visiting settings in public spaces and nature. I like to be different and express myself with my photographing. I am using fashion items from old years till modern or self-developed. Photography from modern to historic dressings, from vintage to fairytales. I like to tell a little story and let go my fantasy. Photography means a lot of me and helping me through difficult times. When I am busy with photographing I forget my pain and sorrow. Me and my models have a lot of fun during the shootings and that´s what I like the most. I wanna make people happy and bring a little light into their lives. And if I can do that by making myself happy by the one thing I can express myself, it´s a win-win. So I hope to achieve my goal to make my dream comes true as a photographer.
