I originated from Utrecht, where my professional journey commenced with training as a molecular biology technician. Subsequently, I embarked on an academic path at Utrecht University's psychopharmacology department, culminating in the attainment of my PhD. Throughout my life, photography has held a significant role, initially centered around capturing the essence of nature and landscapes. What I find truly gratifying is not only the final image but also the immersive experience of being in nature. Over time, my photographic interests expanded to encompass various subjects and themes, with a recurring fascination for the organic and degenerative processes that continue to inspire my work.
