I call my work visual poetry
My neighbor gave me my first camera. Night after night I watched slides of his trips to Iceland and Greenland. That's where my passion for landscapephotography started.
I feel at home in the landscape
I have been working as a landscape photographer since 2000, with an emphasis on capturing spatial planning, in other words the design of the landscape. From that background and my search for the essence of what is, I discovered the more abstract side of the landscape and started to see more and more poetry in the landscape.
Starting with the landscape, I use light, colour and composition in such a way that emotion, softness and aesthetics coincide and the beauty from the mundane unfolds naturally. I am intrigued and inspired by beauty in art, music, novels and poems.
My work is characterized by the beauty of the seemingly everyday image, by portraying it in an unusual way. The image will tell a story, and the longer you look, the more you will see. From my love for classic landscape photography, the landscape will always be the basis of my images.
In a sometimes hectic, restless and harsh world, I hope that my images inspire you to stand still, evoke an emotion and to reflect. By taking the time you will see more and look differently.
