Photography
For me a photo starts with an idea. In that sense I'm more of a designer than a photographer. If the idea is perfected, I start thinking about light and composition. Only then I take my camera, leaving some room to look for the perfect expression or pose. And there's always a considerable amount of time in post-production.

These two pictures were purchased by the Dutch Ministry of Culture for their national collection, after being exhibited at ‘Revival of Captured Scenes’: an exhibition with 'the 150 best performing arts photos of the last century'.
