One Hundred and Fifth Collection


This portrait, honored with the Portrait Photo Awards 2025 105th Collection, is much more than just an aesthetically pleasing image – it exemplifies the power of photography. On a technical level, the photograph excels with precise lighting, outstanding depth of field, and a harmonious color palette. The natural charisma of the subject is enhanced by the deliberate choice of perspective and meticulous composition, drawing attention to the eyes – the windows to the soul.
I am deeply grateful that my photography is appreciated not only for its technical quality but also for its emotional depth and societal relevance. This portrait symbolizes the intersection of art, technique, and humanity.


How I long for those warm summerevenings.... I love that soft light and I adore this woman's beauty :)


A powerful side of a true power woman! With the most beautiful light, composition, and a touch of movement, I had the honor of capturing her through my lens.


This picture was created as a vintage style picture. The butterflies are a symbol of fragility and beauty at the same time and the hourglass is meant to symbolize that time is unstoppable.


Together with her brother Huub, Saar posed for a photo for grandma. After a few silly funny shots, they also took a genuinely smiling photo that can beautifully hang on the wall at grandma and grandpa's place.

I've always had a weakness for dachshunds, they're just strong and brave little creatures and friends for life.
