Award winning photographer with over 10 years experience, my work covers commercial photography in food and products in which I take care of both the styling and the sets design, but enjoying shooting portraits in sport and other genres.
Next to my commercial work I am carrying on personal projects that have food as their main theme.
When I’m not taking pictures, I spend my time practicing sport and with my two young girls Elektra and Scarlet.
