I’m sometimes overwhelmed by people. Photography always allows me to step into a new world and to get to know them. It is something that occupies me day and night. It gives me a hold on life. I have doubts about any number of things, but one thing is certain: I cannot and will not do anything but be a photographer.” education 2009 - 2010 Master Class Lukas Gõbel 2008 - 2009 Master Class Japser Zwartjes 2006 - 2009 Photo Academy Rotterdam 2005 - 2006 MultiMedia Design, Willem De Kooning Rotterdam awards 2011 - 2012 PANL #21, 2 nominations 2010 - 2011 PANL #20, 2 nominations 2009 - 2010 PANL #19, nominated, category 'personal-people' 2009 Photo Academy Award, overall winner 2009 The International Photo Awards, Honorable Mention 2009 De Fotoprijs, nominated 2008 - 2009 PANL #18, nominated, category 'student' special projects 2011 Stadsarchief Amsterdam 2010 De Koppeling (treatment centre for young people) 2010 Bald by choice 2009 Girls in prostitution 2008 February, African Portraits (Pinetown, South-Africa) Photographed for: ELLE, Marie Claire, RED, Volkskrant Magazine, het PAROOL, PS vd Week, CREATIE, LINDA, CODE, Glamcult, VICE, Viva, BVN (Breast cancer association of the Netherlands), and more.
