I am a writer and professional landscape photographer based in the Netherlands. While I love to convey dark, moody and ethereal aspects often found in melancholic music through photography and post-processing, landscape photography has always been a tool for self-discovery for me.

Photography started when I was about nine years old and held my dad's Pentax for the first time. My style sprung for a love for The Lord of the Rings and Magic: The Gathering. And I started landscape photography as something to keep my busy mind occupied in the outdoors.

Soon my articles, tutorials and reviews were published in many magazines around the world and on even more websites.

Today, I'm teaching the transformative qualities of photography through international workshops and landscape photography tours, where the focus lies on getting the most out of you instead of the landscape.

Most of my life, I felt I am different. I care not for politics or cars or having the latest gadgets. I care (worry) about the environment, look forward to human settlement on Mars and hope that artificial intelligence cares enough about its creator. But small things matter to me as well. As I'm writing this, there's a happy cat purring on my lap and the trees outside look verdant after a long, grueling, 8-month autumn. It's both the support and the vegan food of my loving wife that I appreciate, but it's the way she can peer out of her eyes into nothing that really sparks my fascination for her.
