I’m a photojournalist and videographer based in Amsterdam, working primarily with Agence France-Presse and contributing images and documentary-style footage to major outlets and sports and media partners. I deliver stills and video for broadcasters such as the BBC and CNN, with photographs also appearing in publications including The Guardian and The New York Times. My editorial background is strongly rooted in storytelling—shooting feature and travel stories worldwide, as well as covering 20–30 events a year for Marathon Photos across locations ranging from Dubai and Iceland to Greenland and Arctic Norway. Alongside day-to-day news and event coverage, I’m also a practicing painter who studied at Chelsea School of Art and exhibited across Europe; that “object and perception” mindset helps me bring a narrative, matter-aware approach to photography and filmmaking.
