My photography is a kind of storytelling. My photos do not only capture what you see but also capture what you would like to see. I like to make photos that originate from an idea or theme that lingers in your mind. I continuously challenge myself with self-invented themes. I like to work on series, such as the series of pet stories, Greek mythology and my series of still lifes. Because fine art photography is like photographic painting, I am often inspired by the paintings of the old masters from the 17th century, such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. Like them, I love the special lighting, the light-dark contrast and the accompanying textures that arise.
