People photographer with a preference for natural looks. I used to say that I am looking for authenticity in my portraiture, now I think it is fairly impossible to take an authentic picture of a person. A photograph captures only a short moment of life, but life is much more complex and caracterized by feelings, moods, actions, events, cirumstances and more. But we can try to achieve candid, natural, personal pictures, that are anything but exerted.

I consider my style to be quite divers and spontaneous. It's the person in front of the camera that inspires me. Quite often, my portraits show more about myself than about the person I photograph.
