One Hundred and Fourteenth Collection


Becoming the Sand-
In the heart of the desert where silence speaks in golden tones , a woman is blending with the dunes . A moment where the human spirit merges with the rhythm of the world , becoming one with the sand


Jackie is an actor I met during a jazz festival. He was there as a volunteer. I was there to take portraits of the musicians.
He kindly agreed to pose after the soundcheck.

In silence, the image comes to life,
A smile that cuts through daily strife.
Eyes that sparkle, tales to unfold,
A captured moment, vibrant and bold.
The backdrop whispers a gentle dream,
Golden sands, where sunlight beams.
Each stroke of color, brimming with grace,
The photo speaks, time can't erase.


Sometimes an entire life fits into a single glance, a slight movement, a reflection of sunlight. These are the moments I seek to capture alive, sincere, fragile. Every photograph is a reminder that beauty never repeats itself, and every moment deserves to be preserved.


Gemaakt tijdens een zonsopkomstsessie, waar licht en emotie elkaar raakten. Een foto die precies laat zien wat ik zoek in de beelden die ik maak: puurheid en warmte in zijn mooiste vorm.


A purple dress and a summer evening full of color. Sitting among the heather in the dunes as the sun slowly sets, a moment of calm, beauty, and a touch of magic.

When I was preparing the portrait session with Amy, I made a last-minute decision not to photograph in my studio but to shoot on a special location instead at the former residence of William of Orange. Over 500 years old, this historic house was the perfect backdrop for the images I had in mind.
Amy was instantly excited, and from the very first moment, everything felt like a dream. Her natural elegance, combined with the outfits I had carefully curated, suited her perfectly.
I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming Amy into my studio for many years now, and it’s her boundless enthusiasm that always inspires us to try something new. This time was no different, we didn’t hesitate for a second.
The result? Pure magic, if you ask me. ✨
Moments like these are what make photography so special.
This portrait was created using flash and a large softbox.


Captured love between these two little sisters Veerle en Loïs, honored to see this moment recognized.🫶

In the quiet of early morning, he stands at the edge of the bridge, bathed in soft light. Behind him, a few warm lights still glow in the building, as if the night is gently letting go.


Three brothers. This heartfelt outdoor shoot reflects the warmth of sibling love and the beauty of childhood. A timeless image that celebrates family, nature, and togetherness.
