In search of everyday magic
More than anything, I am intrigued by everyday magic: a warm pastel sky at sunrise, a spontaneous encounter with a fox, the sudden abundance of wild flowers each spring. There’s no shortage of such wonders and few things I enjoy more than to marvel and capture their occurence.
My photography has been described as serene, dreamy, warm and emotional. I am thankful to know that my fascination for the quiet, the softness and that magical morning light resonates so aptly with others. I've honed my craft in nature for years, observing light, composition and atmosphere. In recent years, I’ve taken what I know into other genres like portraiture and urban landscapes.

About me
A curious person in general, my interests as photographer are broad: from portraiture to natural and urban landscape, as well as teaching and organizing photography related workshops and events.
Photography aside, I’m a lover of loud music and quiet outdoors. I live in The Hague, the Netherlands with my family of four and a labradoodle named Koos.
The Hague Photowalks
For a few years now I’ve been inviting fellow photographers to walk along on my frequent photowalks. Slowly but surely this has grown into an actual community of fellow photography enthusiasts in and around The Hague. With 100+ members, we organize (free) photowalks and (paid) workshops both in nature and the city. You can find us on instagram or visit our website here.
Elsewhere
There’s a few other place where I share my photography and things related to it. I regularely publish photos and stories on Instagram and videos on photography and gear on Youtube.
