The person behind the camera

Images with
feeling.

A way of seeing

My main focus is cinematography. I care about light, composition, movement, atmosphere and what an image makes you feel.

I started filmmaking young and built my experience on set. Over 7 years, I’ve worked across countries, cultures and production environments, from commercial and branded films to music videos, television and documentary-style work.

I like work that feels cinematic but still natural and intentional. Every visual choice should contribute to the identity of a project. I’m based in the Netherlands and available for productions internationally.
