My fascination with photo manipulation was born when I started modeling and watched a photographer edit my body. It was weird and confronting, but I was also intrigued by the possibilities and started experimenting in Photoshop myself.
This led me to pursue a visual career and graduate from the Art Academy in Graphic Design.
To me, the creative process does not stop after a photo is captured – it has only just begun.
It excites me to dedicate my talents to conscious brands that want to make a difference in the world.
Using the power of photography to influence consumption decisions that contribute to preserving our planet's natural wonders.
Turning wild ideas into lively visual campaigns that make a positive impact.

For Beautiful Beauty Brands,
As a social experiment, I faked a 5-week holiday to create awareness about the risks of editing software.
The project went viral and among many others the New York Times, Daily Mail, Buzzfeed and Metro UK talked about my ‘fakecation’. This gave me the opportunity to spread my message about social media appearances and the concerning difference with reality to a wide audience.
In my opinion, retouching is not something that should be done secretly: it needs to be discussed and treated openly and honestly.

I love how I am able to create unworldly beautiful scenes and people. But it also worries me that these filtered and edited photos can change our perception of the world or even damage one’s self-esteem.

Travel lifestyle
Nomadic content creation
Since the world and the outdoors always bring me the biggest inspiration boost, I make it a priority to travel and explore new environments as often as possible. In fact, I specifically arranged my life and work around the freedom to go wherever I feel my creativity would thrive.
I tend to follow the sun because it gives me the ability to step outside and use all elements of nature in my photography.
R During European summers, I base myself in my home country the Netherlands and travel around Europe.
R During the cold grey winters, I choose one or more tropical destinations to stay and work from.
In this way, I can serve my clients with a change of environment without them having to spend high travel production costs.
