Ph.Artist since May 19, 2009
I grew up in several towns and picked up photographing in an early age. I remember my first plastic minolta camera with a ridiculous large orange release button on top of it. After I had made a picture of a dying pony ( I was aged 15 or so) in the Ardennes in Belgium, I instantly knew it looked pretty good, with nice dramatic light, made in cold and rainy conditions.
I remember that moment very clearly.
After highschool and a year in the army
I attended the Art Academy in Tilburg and graduated as a 1st degree teacher.
But I did not felt the urge to become a schoolteacher at all. For several years I was more excited to earn a living as a free-lancer in several disciplines.
I always kept on photographing, besides my logistical orientated jobs in several industrial companies.
I now experience a comfortable balance in working in a high-tech company as project engineer, and investing time and effort in my personal skills as photographer.
Activities
I like travelling and take photographs during most of my journeys, and use the photographs for entries of worldwide photo contests.
