"For me, photography is about capturing the essence of a place, illuminating the nuances of the environment and its humanity. It’s the seemingly mundane moments of life that I find most captivating - the small, intimate details that reveal the beauty of the world around us."

Having grown up in a rural village, later coming of age in larger metropolises, I remain drawn to the symbiosis of these environments. Recognizing the persistence of nature’s hand despite man’s relentless will to dominate the landscape, my work explores the implications of urbanization and our relationship to the natural world, capturing how these forces shape landscapes and communities—the structures that ground our sense of ‘home.’

Driven by curiosity and emotion, my creative process is intuitive. Traditional printing techniques blend with a keen sensitivity to light and color, producing images imbued with warmth and intimacy, in both personal and commissioned work.

I earned my BA from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, and I’m currently based in Amsterdam.
