I was born...
..and raised in The Hague, the Netherlands. After I graduated high school I had to serve in the military. There, I experienced that eighteen months can feel like forever. Because at the time I already knew what I really wanted to do. I wanted to go to art school in Breda, and my application was already accepted before I even received the call of duty.
After I got through the conscription,...
...I started art school after all. In the end I graduated as a fashion and beauty photographer. Over the years I became more and more all-round, with a particular fondness for portrait photography. Now, I work as a Digital Photography teacher at X since 2004, alongside my freelance activities.
As a teacher,...
...I find myself indebted to one of my own teachers from the past. From him, I learned more than from all of my other teachers combined. I want to pass through his lessons and vision. I want to provide a safe environment for my students, in which they are allowed to experiment. Because in the end you learn more from your failures than your successes.
