I started having an interest for photography when I was a child. The first pictures I snapped were with an analogue Rollei I got from my father. I grew up at a time that the digital era was making its entrance and I fully embraced the transition. As a teenager I bought my first, 1.2 Megapixel digital camera and in the years that followed I bought and sold many camera’s one after the other. Every model had more advanced features, and just by doing I learned more and more about photography.

​

Eventually I bought my first DSLR; a Konica Minolta Dynax 5D that had 6 Megapixels. I traded it in by a crop-sensor Sony Alpha 700 with double the pixel count soon after. I really loved the ruggedness, ergonomics and color reproduction of it. With the A700 I started out as a professional photographer. Eventually there was only one way to go: full frame. That started with a Nikon D750. It was a great camera with beautiful color reproduction.

 

Not much later I switched back to Sony and stepped into the mirrorless era with an A7RM3 and an A7M3. Nowadays I have two 60-Megapixel A7RM4A camera's and a bunch of great optics. Those include a 70-200GM, an 85 F1.4, 50F1.4GM, 35 F1.8/and my personal favorite, a 16-35 GM2. I now have a drone too, with which I shoot photo and video.

Over the years I came to realise that great photos are a condition of just three things. It's about a person's ability to visualise unique frames of the world, it's about the quality of the person's camera and ancillary gear, and his ability to skilfully combine the first two.

I feel so much energy to capture everyday beauty  that unfolds in the world around us. I truly love colors, patterns, and scenic views. My ambition is to continuously raise the bar in photography and to make the 'most beautiful' photo.
