Biografía;
Nacido en 1966 en Almelo, (Países Bajos), hijo de un pastor en una familia de 4 hermanas. Al final de la escuela secundaria, decidí dedicarme al diseño gráfico, pero después de un año en la Academia Libre de Bellas Artes me di cuenta de que estaba más atraído por la fotografía. Un periodo de practicas en un periódico me oriento hacia la fotografía escénica
En 1990, tuve la oportunidad de trabajar en el estudio Picture Report, especializado en fotografía corporativa. Esta experiencia me hizo tomar consciencia de mi deseo de extender mis horizontes. Así me fui a Londres a probar mi suerte. Este periodo me conforto en la idea de lanzarme como freelance.
En 1991 me instale en un estudio con mi amigo y fotógrafo Erno Wientjens en Rotterdam. Durante 5 años me concentre en la fotografía en estudio mientras Erno se dedicaba a los retratos.
En 1996 nos separamos para implicarnos cada uno mas en nuestras especialidades, pero estaba cada vez mas interesado en fotografiar a la gente. Empecé a viajar mucho haciendo fotografía corporativa.
Ahora comparto mi tiempo entre publicidad, moda y fotografía corporativa. Esto se tradujo en campañas e informes anuales para marcas como; Unilever, Agfa, Senternovem, Shell, (anterior) Numico, Exact, Belastingdienst, Olympia, RET, Forbo, Stivoro, Sigma, Priva, SSP, Nestle, Ayuntamiento de Rotterdam, Banco SNS, Unigarant, Agis, Musictheater Amsterdam, Seiko.
Ademas de la fotografía comercial me gusta explorar campos nuevos a través de mi trabajo personal.

Biography;
Born in 1966 in Almelo in The Netherlands, son of a vicar in a family with 4 sisters. At the end of the secondary school I decided to dedicate myself to graphic design, but after a year in the ‘Free Academy of Arts’ I finally was more attracted by photography. A training at a newspaper orientated me more towards ‘staged photography’.
In 1990, I had the opportunity to work for a studio called Picture Report, which were specialized in corporate photography. This experience made me realize I wanted to extend my horizons. So I went to London to take my chance. This period convinced myself to start as a freelance.
So, in 1991, I set up a studio with my friend and photographer Erno Wientjens in Rotterdam. For 5 years I was into studio photography while Erno was more doing the portraits.
In 1996 we split up to dedicate ourselves to our own specialties but more and more I became convinced about the fact I wanted to photograph people on location. I started to travel a lot by doing corporate photography.
Nowadays I share myself between advertising, fashion and corporate photography. This has resulted in doing campaigns and annual reports for brands like; Unilever, Agfa, Senternovem, Shell, former Numico, Exact, Belastingdienst, Olympia, RET, Forbo, Stivoro, Sigma, Priva, SSP, Nestle, Gemeente Rotterdam, SNS bank, Unigarant, Agis, Musictheater Amsterdam, Seiko.
Beside this commercial photography I like to explore more fields through my personal work.
