One Hundred and Eleventh Collection


Shy, yet curious about the camera and the photographer.
This portrait captures a beautiful girl with her chin tucked into her sweater, offering a strong and captivating gaze. Her subtle posture and intense eyes made for a compelling image.


Naast alle retrievers, bordercollies, poedels, corgi's en tig andere bekende rassen is het natuurlijk ook leuk om een ras voor mijn lens te krijgen waarvan ik nog niet had gehoord. Rafi is een Saluki, dit hondenras is afkomstig uit het Midden-Oosten en werd daar gezien als een statussymbool. Hij straalde een bepaalde allure uit, kwam helemaal tot zijn recht tussen de pilaren.


In "Pink Fighter," I captured the juxtaposition of feminine strength and childhood determination. The vibrant pink boxing gloves and matching outfit create a bold color statement against the dramatic black background. I used controlled studio lighting to sculpt the subject's fierce expression and athletic stance. The monochromatic pink palette challenges traditional color associations while celebrating empowerment. Her confident posture and direct gaze convey resilience and determination. This portrait explores themes of breaking stereotypes and embracing inner strength, showing how sport can build character and confidence. The clean composition emphasizes the subject's powerful presence and fighting spirit.

Often smiling on a picture is seen as a must. However a pretty stilling, friendly gaze can be so much more powerful.

This photograph captures a majestic horse in the stillness of a forest, where nature and animal have merged into one. Sunlight filters through the trees, gently touching the horse’s brown back, creating a sense of harmony between animal strength and the tranquility of the surrounding nature. This moment symbolizes freedom, power, and balance, which are integral to the natural world.


Joury has been wanting shoot photos with me for forever. It has been so much fun to see how she brought her own ideas forward while doing the shoot. And especially wanting to have a photo together with her old bear. This stunning picture was created in my favourite Rembrandtlight.

This is a striking studio portrait of a woman with a bold and confident presence. She has a voluminous natural afro hairstyle and is wearing vivid red lipstick, which contrasts beautifully with her smooth, glowing skin. Her makeup is polished, with defined eyebrows, winged eyeliner, and long lashes that enhance her captivating gaze directed at the camera.
She is dressed in a textured black outfit that resembles faux fur or feathers, adding a dramatic and high-fashion feel to the image. Around her neck, she wears a unique black choker that contributes to the edgy, stylish look. The background is a clean white, which helps to emphasize her features and styling.
