My passion for photography started during the Covid-19 pandemic. Walking was the only thing that was allowed at that time. From that moment I rediscovered my hometown Rotterdam and started to invest more and more in cameras and lenses. Plus I developed a way of how I look at my city with its vibrant street life and modern architecture. I must say it offers endless inspiration for me. When I go out shooting, most of the time I don’t really have a plan. I just go to different parts of my city, which could be for example the city centre, along the river or central station. I love the freedom to walk wherever I want to walk and feel the atmosphere on the streets. I always love to watch and observe people and capture them in a respectful way. I especially love capturing moments where the human element meets the built environment: a cyclist speeding past an iconic building or people sitting on a bench enjoying their view of the modern skyline of Rotterdam.
