While studying Sociology at VU University Amsterdam, I discovered that photography was a medium through which I could truly express myself, and it quickly became a deep passion. Since 2000, I have also been teaching photography and cinematography.

I am entirely self-taught. Drawn to experimentation, I gradually developed an autonomous artistic practice – often using myself as a model or photographing the emerging house scene.  I also worked commercially from 1986 onwards for various clients in architecture and portrait photography.

Over time, my personal development and fascination with technology became increasingly important. The theme of intimacy appeared not only in self-portraits and images of my surroundings, but also in portraits exploring how people perceive themselves and others. At the same time, I began experimenting more with mixed media and reusing images, moving away from directly recording reality in search of the or my truth.

This evolution was reflected in my career. I participated in various group exhibitions, including Self during Paris Photo 2018, Faces at Les Rencontres d’Arles 2025, and Sex and Politics at the Bastille Design Center during Paris Photo 2025.
