About your local photographer

Originally from The Netherlands, but having grown up in New Zealand, a yearning to explore the world was always in my heart.

So, in search of adventure and a warmer climate, I moved to Greece to enjoy the warm weather, the sunshine, the food, and of course the stunning scenery.
But in my heart, the Netherlands was calling, so I returned 'home'. Now I continue my passion for helping people improve their photography skills, while sharing the best of Amsterdam and beyond.

I am a working professional photographer with many years of experience, who has learned his skills with weddings, portraits, studio, animals, and scenic photography.

I am a gifted teacher, able to make photography easy to understand for everyone. So you will be learning all the tips and secrets to taking better photographs from a real professional - someone who walks the walk. I also have a wealth of experience in graphic design and photo editing. I am currently writing a book about my approach to photography - distilling my years of experience into a practical method to improve our photography skills.

I love photography. There's no denying it. Even in my spare time I like to venture out with a camera in hand, playing and experimenting. But that's not all. I also love to travel and explore new countries. I have now visited somewhere around 40 countries (and counting). I have also trained in off-road (4 wheel drive) terrain driving, completed an Anti-Skid training course, and am a qualified Professional driver. Just for fun, I also trained in close protection (for bodyguard protection services). I spend way too much time thinking about human behaviour and it's effect on how we photograph.

So join me on an upcoming Photo Tour. You'll learn how to take better pictures, get to see some more of this beautiful world, and maybe have some fun along the way. After all, that's what life should be about!
