As a teenager growing up in the ‘00s I discovered my love for filming with my father's film camera. At first, I just filmed whatever was happening in and around the house, later I recorded our vacations and eventually I got into filming selfmade comedy sketches and skate videos with my friends. But it wasn't until much later that I realized you could actually make a living out of making films. After already wrapping up my degree in communication studies film-school was out of reach.

Fueled by curiosity and a desire to learn, I took matters into my own hands and dove headfirst into teaching myself cinematography. Fast forward to the present day, and I find myself behind the lens, filming for brands such as Apple, Samsung, The Glenlivet, Philips, Asahi, Royal Swinkels, Gazelle, KLM, Feyenoord, Ajax and Red Bull Racing.

Every single shot in a film is crucial to me because they all contribute to the overall story. Take one out and it changes everything for the audience. From set design to lighting, framing, and camera movement, every element plays a vital role in delivering the intended message. And while technology is important, I believe in preserving the human touch in storytelling and the creative process.

In my work, you'll see a lot of vibrant colors, striking contrasts and dynamic camera movements. Whether crafting commercials for sports, food or fashion, my goal is to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary, creating visually stunning images that resonate deeply with audiences.
