Who are you? Describe yourself in a few words.

I'm a photographer based in The Netherlands! I'm obviously passionate about photography and the impact you can make with it. I feel so grateful for my job. I get to visit and see places where I otherwise would never come, and meet people I would never ever have met. And that's what truly inspired me to do what I do. The connections between people, the love of creating something personal but beautiful for everybody I get to see through my lens.

Do you think that creativity involves putting your heart and soul into your work?

When you put your heart and soul into something, it elevates the work, making it authentic and unique. It’s the personal touch, the passion, and the energy that transforms an idea into something powerful.

What in your personal life has influenced you to choose your career?

Time and my kids deeply influenced my decision to pursue photography. For me, it’s about freezing moments of pure joy—those fleeting, precious experiences that don’t last but that we wish we could return to. I believe a truly great photograph connects us to the emotions of that moment.

Do you believe in destiny?

I believe in the power of letting go of what’s beyond my control. I trust that what’s meant for me will find its way to me if I focus my energy on it. It’s about surrendering to life’s flow while still putting my heart and effort into the things that truly matter.

After these years of working on your craft, do you still feel the job doing what you do?

The joy of what I do grows bigger and bigger every year; I feel like I’m growing into it. There’s a certain magic in creating something new and unique every single time—it keeps the passion alive and makes the process endlessly fulfilling.

Do you believe that each person has the capacity to be creative? Why?

I believe everyone has their own way of being creative, and that creativity can definitely be trained. The more I practice it, the more it becomes natural. It’s about staying open to new ideas, experimenting, and embracing mistakes along the way.

Is there a particular place where you feel most creative?

Yes, When I'm resting or not doing anything my mind wakes up!

What is your mission in this life?

Enjoy every little moment of happiness, because happiness is enjoying little moments and not something or someone.
