Morgue

Generally speaking I try to create tantalising images that capture the viewer’s attention for much more than a quick glance. The story is often incomplete or contains an unexpected twist.

“Stories” is a series in which the viewer is placed in the position of a voyeur. He/she is witness a strange situation that was most likely not meant to become public. Typically the images show only part of the story, as there are often references to persons/items outside of the frame and or expected elements missing. Inside the frame there may be elements that trigger questions. All this invites the viewer to think and wonder about what she/he is actually seeing, what it means and in the end complete the story with his/her own thoughts.

The viewer’s creative process to ‘complete’ or ‘explain’ the story is an essential part of this series.

Bio
In 2012, I quit as director at Unilever, to focus on my passion: photography.

I realised that although I made pictures since my early youth I lacked some of the skills required to create the fine-art images I envisioned. So I went ‘back to school’ and graduated top of my class from the Fotovakschool, Rotterdam in 2015.
