I was born in Leiden in the year of 1972. Raised in Lisse till my twenties and then moved back to Leiden again.

I started in 2008 with my first compact camera and bought my first dslr in 2009 so it now has been 6 years ago that I have started with photography. I learned a lot and gained a lot of photography experience in those 6 years. The photography virus really struck me after traveling through Costa Rica and Tanzania. Later countries like the Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Egypt, Borneo and Madagascar followed. All theses countries inspired me in their own unique way. How beautiful and divers nature can be!
The Netherlands, my own beautiful country, has a lot to offer as well. During my frequent visits into Dutch nature I often realize how beautiful my country is. In my immediate surroundings there is a lot to explore: sea, beach and dunes are almost at my doorstep and within five minutes I'm in the grass lands with mills, cows and ditches. Great!
I try, and that is every time again a challenging task, to capture nature in all its simplicity. I strive for images which show my interpretation or express the feeling I experienced of a scene in front of me. And my interpretation often leads to an end result which others might call original, artistic and sometimes very abstract.
