This year I started working as a hospital pharmacist in the Beatrix hospital, Gorinchem. I noticed great artwork on the walls every three months. After contacting the art commission, I had the chance to have an exposition in the best hospital in The Netherlands, according to the AD (big Dutch paper). Here is an impression of my mixed media and macro work in this great hospital.

So this shoot with the beautiful Cisca was inspiring. The shoot was planned to work out face shots as materiaal for my mixed media work. It turned out to become a complete shoot after all. Here's my coverage of a great day.
​

I had a tremendous experience, met a lot of inspiring and lovely people and had hell of a blast at the Masters of LXRY. My project 'The other side' was a succes. The fusion of pharmacy, chemistry and photography impressed a lot of people. I was glad to be part of such a great event on this massive scale. Enjoy this video (my work at 0:23) and short photo impression of my work at the event.

There has been a lot of publicity around this event. Here are a few links:

Never expected to publish my story in such a big Dutch magazine! Digifoto Pro just published my project 'The other side' in their Masterclass 2.2015 edition. My story and background is also included. Grab your copy in the stores!

I had a great time doing my first maternity shoot with a lovely couple. Rana was about 33+ weeks during the shoot. I was able to "blend" them both in the surrounding quite well. The lighting circumstances were outstanding for this type of shoots. Here is my humble coverage of the day, enjoy!

I was pleased to be able to shoot my first wedding. It was nice to see the bride Anna and the groom Karol shine as we walked through the picturesque Rotterdam. Here are my favorite shots from the day. 

The Fashion Weekend was a great succes. A team of different designers, mua's and crew had been preparing this event for a long time. The kids walked the catwalk in various outfits, especially designed for this weekend. 

I had a lot of fun shooting for Junelisa Asporaat Producties once again. The team and the models were just great to work with. Here is my coverage of the Fashion Weekend 2015.

After the exhibition in Munchen, Germany, my work flew over to The United Kingdom. The serie 'The other side' was exhibited in London Hilton on Park Lane. Thanks to Anne de Vries, from BubbleProjects, who made this possible. 

Interested to visit this exhibition?

During this next shoot I got to work with a great team of visagists, mua's and stylists. As the name already suggest there was a lot of candy in the studio. Young kids where being prepared to be photographed against different colourful backgrounds. These young models had a lot of fun doing this. For me it was the first time working with kids like this. The organisation and leading directions from Junelisa made this day a great succes. 

After the Candy shoot the kids where prepared for the Color in Me photoshoot. All dressed in white they embodied unity. This theme was chosen for the third edition of the Fashion Weekend. More information about this event on April 25th and 26th 2015 can be found on Junelisa's fb-page: https://www.facebook.com/junelisa.asporaat

I had great time working with the kids and the crue from Junelisa Asporaat Producties. I'm looking forward working with them again. Here's my coverage of the day.

After my first exhibition at KunstWerk Aan de Winkel my pictures were transported to Germany. The series, called 'The other side' was exhibited in Hilton Munchen. Thanks to Anne de Vries, from BubbleProjects, who made this possible.

Today I exhibited my work for the first time. The exhibition features 16 artists. I'm thrilled to be one of them. I had chosen my project 'The other side'.  The other side is one of my main macro photography series. It's unique and drawed a lot of attention.

This next publication is my first in the magazine called Focus. In this edition, Issue 2015-2, February 2015, I got the opportunity to publish my story and pictures from the project 'The other side'. The other side is one of my macro photography projects, which I'm very content about. I'm thrilled it got the attention of the respected and long existing Dutch photography magazine Focus.
​

My third magazine publication is a fact. It's not just a publication, it's one on a double page! The monochrome long exposure shot, titled "Signs", got published in the photography magazine Chip Foto Video, issue 79. Check out the original and published picture below.

The next outdoor shoot I did was with Anna. Her agility and natural look made this shoot a succes. I really enjoyed working with her.  I hope you'll enjoy my coverage with this great model. Anna's page: https://www.facebook.com/psypole

Technical information: Nikon D7100, Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.4G, Nikon AF-S 70-200mm F/4.0G ED VR(III), Nikon SB-700 Flash.

Had an outstanding shoot with the charming Katia. We choose a beautiful and peaceful spot in the woods. The early morning light was soft and great. The model was posing natural and just doing her thing. A true pleasure to work with her, considering she hasn't done much modeling.

The second model photoshoot I did with Sarah was outdoors. The aim of the photoshoot was to create a dreamy world and offcourse to have fun while doing it. This serie is called 'Red blossom fairytale'. I'm pleased with the softness and ambience of the shots. And again It was great working with Sarah.

The power of simplicity is displayed by my ´Signs´. The monochrome properties remove the distracting saturation, which extra emphasizes the sign in the lake. To be able to shoot these scenaries you need to use high exposures during daytime. The only way to achive this is by using ND-filters. 

Technical information: Nikon D7100, Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 AT-X DX, B+W 110 ND.  

I was surprised to see a skimboarding event in Nesselande, Rotterdam. It seems to be one of the best flatland skimboarding spots in the region. On this beautiful day I was out there with my camera and saw all the enthousiast boarders on the beach. Enjoy my short coverage of the day.
