My passion for photography was inspired by my father, an avid amateur photographer who bought me my first camera when I was just a little boy. Originally from the Netherlands Antilles, I spent much of my childhood in South America and the United States, where the dramatic landscapes and vibrant culture strongly influenced the way I saw the world around me through my lens. After more than 40 years with my hobby, I started practising night photography. Now I live in Leeuwarden, Friesland and look forward to all the challenges that await me here.
