Photographer & Retoucher · Amsterdam

Photographs of places that ask you to slow down, and the craft to make every image right.

I've worked as a freelance photographer and retoucher since 2006. My camera now follows a more personal path, while my retouching helps brands and agencies get every image exactly right.

Inner Traveller

Alongside my own work, I'm building Inner Traveller: an international platform for conscious travel, retreat culture and inner transformation.

It's where my photography, my travels and my own inner journey come together, with stories, destinations and guides for anyone ready to travel inward as well as outward.
