One Hundred and Sixteenth Collection

Nicolas, sitting quietly on a chair and waiting for something yet to come. His gaze is calm but alert. A moment between playfulness and seriousness. In the soft light he seems briefly detached from time, as if he has stepped back into the past.

Elegance painted in shadows. A portrait of fragility, mortality, and restrained strength.

Zacht licht, bloemen en een lichte fine art bewerking. Haar rode haar en sproetjes make een mooi geheel met de donkerrode bloemen. Eén van mijn favoriete foto’s van 2025!

The Witch
For centuries, she was misunderstood.
Women who lived close to nature, who understood the language of plants, intuition, and silence. They listened where others turned away. Their knowledge was labeled dangerous. Their independence became a threat.
And so the witch was created as a symbol of fear.
Dark. Distorted. A caricature.
But this portrait tells a different story.
Here, the witch is not something to fear, but something to recognize.
A woman of wisdom and quiet power.
Not condemned for what she is, but misjudged for what she represents.
She looks directly at you.
A finger raised.
Is it an accusation?
An invitation?
Or a mirror?
Her true power is not in spells or words,
but in what she awakens within the viewer.
What do you see when she looks back at you?

As you can see in the photo, Danique is always happy, full of energy and a little naughty.

I had the privilege of taking this photo of Petra and Bas. We were going to shoot their wedding at an indoor location, and just before we left for the second photo location, I saw this alcove. I immediately pictured it, so I quickly set up a flash and took this photo. It was pure coincidence that I saw this on my way out!

Wrapped in his mother’s arms, Nolan didn’t notice the cold at all.
A spontaneous moment of pure connection
Netherlands 🇳🇱
A moment of stillness. Light, skin, touch. Simple and powerful in its quiet intimacy.

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.” – Elizabeth Gilbert
