Photographer

I think I can best describe myself as a (retired) motocross racer with a passion for photography and a great deal of admiration for horse riding. And what started out as something to pass the time between motos on a motocross race day, turned into this site.

I got my first digital (compact) camera around 2000 and I always took it with me to the races. Because the first and the second moto had a couple of hours between them, I was able to shoot some ‘action’. In 2003 I got my first (2nd hand!) DSLR. Over the years lenses were added and cameras were replaced…

In 2006 horse riding got me intrigued and I have been a frequent spectator of all kinds of horse-related events since. Over the years eventing action shots have become one of my specialties.

In the weekends you will most likely find me at a horse riding event (Eventing, Jumpings, Dressage,…) or at a motocross track (MCLB, MXGP, Komen, …). To keep things fresh and interesting I shoot around 5 weddings per year and I also try to add some random private shoots (with and without horses). If it involves photography, I’m interested! I do have a limit for weddings, because I don’t want it to feel like I’m working on an assembly line… I don’t want it to feel like work at all actually. I really love looking forward to the big day! So I think a limit is best for both me and the customers, because for sure this shows in the end result.
