Everyone is surrounded by 'stories'. When we look back, the moment has already disappeared and only the memory remains.
With my photography, I want to capture that one moment and use it to tell the story again. Preserve the memory.
This can be done in a single image, but of course also with several photos or a larger visual story, sometimes in book form.
Looking at the photo(s) should make you relive it, bring you back to that one moment or let you experience it, take you along in the 'adventure'.
And so I am often, with great pleasure, a modern-day 'time traveller'.
I regularly feel like a privileged person. I get to travel the world to beautiful destinations, meet beautiful and special people, experience nature and have special adventures. On assignment or as free work. From the Arctic to East Africa, from Ireland to Japan. I also find my subjects very close by. But I always try to be aware of where I am, how special the place is and the moment. I want to capture that in my own way. So that I can share my 'moments' with the viewer.
My camera is my passport to events, my 'time machine'. I capture special or everyday moments, precious memories but also harsh reality. Not to shock, but to make(er) the viewer aware and perhaps bring about a change.
