I am a documentary photographer and visual storyteller.
Interested in the outer edges of society, I document the lives and realities of those painfully affected and neglected by the social and political structures of our society.

I record and visualize the stories and struggles of individuals and communities, often in collaboration with them. The emerging accounts are either intimate visual narratives that speak to underlying larger issues, or photojournalistic series that directly show problematic socio-political conditions.

Strongly influenced by the emotional and told with a language of evidence and lyricism, my work is to both inform and affect the public society - and the very policy makers and systems that are largely responsible for the social and political struggles at hand.

Based in Den Haag (NL) and available for assignments.

My work has appeared in publications such as Creemag, Common Ground Magazine, nmthype, Under Her Gaze We Feel Golden, and on the cover of ‘Der Wille zur Zukunft” (Peter Selg, 2017) and ‘It’s Heavy’ (Supersonic Blues / Who Can You Trust Records 2021)
