With over twenty years of professional experience (first as a cinematographer and the past eleven years as a digital operator and photo assistant), I have worked on sets big and small. I have extensive knowledge of strobe and continuous lighting, worked with most photo and film cameras and I am proficient in all the major software packages.

About me
Educated at the Academy of Photography and the Netherlands Film Academy, I have one foot firmly planted in film and the other in photography.

After serving as a director of photography on numerous TV commercials, music videos and narrative films for over a decade, I decided it was time to follow a different career path.
When a friend asked me to help her out on a photo shoot, some eleven years ago, I rediscovered my love for photography and started assisting her and others on a regular basis, while honing my skills as a digital operator.
Keeping my calm amid a hectic set, I am creative, patient and organised. With a keen eye for detail I also have overview, enabling improvisation and flexibility.
Capture Packages
Whether it's a complete studio package with two or more displays, or a small location set-up with just a laptop, I can provide a digital capture kit for any kind of shooting situation.
