Featured

Mexico, a retrospective →

A look at a country I like a lot, but no longer love. And "it's not you, it's me" I want to tell it, if countries had ears to hear it. Because it really is me and who I am today. But, who knows, another 10 years might do wonders.

Capturing a writing camp: my friends make music, I take photos →

The second edition of my Doe Gewoon writing camp photo essays. Is this going to be a series?

Inside the beautifully chaotic mind of ReinCarnatie →

'Hey, so what if I just made a painting right here on the spot so you can see what materials I use, what my process is, and I just talk you through it a little bit?' Rein casually mentions while he pours me a coffee. I look up at him: 'That's exactly what I would love you to do right now', I reply.

Documenting a writing camp and announcing the giveaway winner →

Two things this week. I joined my friends of Doe Gewoon on their writing camp to photograph their process of making music. And, the moment you've all been waiting for, the winner of the fine art print giveaway is here! Let's not waste any time.

Photo essay: Bleached Renaissance (and my first-ever print giveaway!) →

Dialogue (Blauwdruk exhibition) →

For my second time participating in the group-exhibition 'Blauwdruk 033' in my hometown, Amersfoort, I wanted to do something special. I'm bringing my monthly newsletter from the digital, to the analog space.

Walking the Grebbeliniepad →

The Grebbe Line (Dutch: Grebbelinie) was part of the Dutch Waterline—a defensive system that used intentional flooding to hold back invaders. It stretched from the Grebbeberg near Rhenen all the way north to the IJsselmeer. It's a 91KM walk that took me two years to complete.

Photo essay: Karpathos in between →

About the duality of a small Greek island that is yet to be discovered by mass tourism.

The Efflorescence →

A documentary project about Dutch festival and club culture finding its way back to relevance during pandemic times.

Why I am walking, an introduction →

First presented in the form of a video, this essay captures my state of mind at the start of 2022 and explains the motivations behind my decision to ditch freelance photography and start going on long photo-walks instead.

Monologue (365 Project) →

What started as my daily writing 365 project in 2021 continues in 2026 in a less restricted form. A stream of consciousness that has no other place. Almost like a public diary.

Do You Register? →

‘DO YOU REGISTER?’ is a registration of modern day life in its purest form. There’s no editing, no fancy camera movement, no narrative, no beginning, no end. It’s a direct peek into life in the 21st century.

One Two One →

A black and white square-format photography project made during the winter of 2020/2021.

Winter Allotment →

A small photography project, shot in one afternoon in the waning winter sun. Focussing on the hidden beauties of a communal allotment garden.

The Silence Around →

Panorama photos that allowed people to take a step back from the hectics of modern life.
