Flat Bijlmer, Amsterdam The beauty of our everyday living environment. That is what I want to show in my photo series of which this picture is part. The entrance to the gym, the shopping centre, schoolyard, a car park. In our daily lives, we are far too hurried. The people in my photos have no eye for their surroundings but unnoticed they are part of a very beautiful picture.
To make this photo series, I started looking around me more consciously. I saw interesting lines and patterns and special details in buildings and other urban elements that I had never noticed before. "To me, photography is an art of observation.

With my photos, I hope to inspire you to also look differently at the world around you: beauty is everywhere and closer than you think!
