Who are the rebels that shape the world?

I’m providing them with the visual tools they need to shake things up and go beyond the regular.

The stories of the people who dare to live on their own terms inspire me in my practice. I combine photo/videography, art direction, and my background in fashion into my work. I submerge into subcultures and bring those trends and lifestyles to a wider audience. I extract the essence of avant-garde artists with an anthropological approach and visualize it into (moving) images, branding concepts, and fashion ideas.

I obtained a BA in Fashion & Design at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) and hold a MA in Cultural Economics & Entrepreneurship from the Erasmus University in Rotterdam.

My international mindset has taken me around the world. In Paris I worked for the designer Gaspard Yurkievich, in New York with stylist Tom van Dorpe at V Magazine and the trend forecaster Ellen Sideri at ESP Trendlab. In the Netherlands I worked as a documentary photographer for Vice, art director for Nachtlab Agency, and curated an exhibition for Museumnacht Amsterdam at Sexyland World.

Next to my work I find it important to give back to society. Therefore, I have been part of the board of Native for 6 years, a foundation which supports photojournalists from under-represented regions by collaborating with parties such as Vogue, World Press Photo and Visura.
