I took this night photo in August 2019 on the darkest part of the Netherlands, the Boschplaat on Terschelling. There, on the deserted stretch of beach far beyond Oosterend, is a replica of a little shipwreck house that used to serve as a refuge for stranded shipwrecked people. During the crystal clear August night, the vertically oriented Milky Way was exceptionally visible. I made various images of the house with the galactic center just behind it. This photo is the result of combining multiple light effects. The perfect conditions, multiple exposures and extensive post-processing make this a unique image.

As a professional photographer I focus on portrait and event photography. On this site, however, I mainly offer landscape and architectural photos, with a special focus on night and astrophotography. Do you want a beautiful picture of the galaxy on the wall? Take a look at my work!
In addition to photo's of the Milky Way, I also make many images of The Hague where I live. Not only from the city center but also from the beach at Scheveningen and Kijkduin, including sunsets. Are you looking for a specific photo of The Hague, but can't find it here? I have many more images in my archive, so please contact me!
