I am a photographer, filmmaker, and visual artist with a dance background. I started out in a dance theatre group (1998 to 2001) until I discovered the Amsterdam underground Hip-Hop scene (2002 to 2008). It was during this time I developed a passion for design, film and photography - teaching myself theses disciplines when not dancing - and thus becoming a professional that merges these worlds.

It’s my goal to capture authentic and genuine moments. I search for the essence of the situation, and then throw myself head first in to the action - being totally open to whatever comes my way.

Since my passion for movement is so big, my work has always been influenced by moving images: film. By creating a cinematic feeling in my work i want to take the viewer into the magical world of film.
