Bio
I'm a photographer and filmmaker based in the Netherlands.
I make images that tell a clear story, with attention for the people who appear in front of the lens. Some projects call for direction; sometimes the strongest images come from patience.
Growing up in Indonesia, and later working in both healthcare and construction, taught me to connect quickly with people from all kinds of backgrounds. Years as a print journalist for Dutch outlets including Trouw and NOS sharpened my instinct for storytelling. Today I work full time as a photographer and filmmaker, with businesses and cultural institutions as my main clients.
