About

I am a Delft-based photographer with a background in architecture. Although I started professionally over a year ago, my photographic vision has been shaped by nearly 10 years of independent practice.

As a photographer I am drawn to organic, unscripted moments and genuine human interaction. My approach blends documentary sensitivity with a strong sense of composition. I aim to provide clients with impactful visual content that strengthens brand communication, enhances online presence, and supports future partnerships.
