Ninety-Sixth Collection
Sometimes I look through the photos from shoots of some time ago and find a hidden gem there. A boy who game along with his little brother and wanted to sit a moment in front of my camera for a moment.

Playing with colors and Reflections.
Have always loved strong colors and geometry. Red and reflections are both perfectly fitting with those two passions I have.
Back in October 2023, I went on this awesome horse photography trip to Switzerland. We went to a surprise location on a Wednesday morning... nobody knew where we were going and why we had to set the alarm so early.... like 04:30 am!
Arriving at the location, we saw the sun coming up behind a beautiful large field of purple flowers, it was so huge you couldn't even see it's end. It was just like a fairytale, and the models were so good and stunning as well. An experience I will never forget!

Unveiling Aisshwarya: A Multifaceted Woman, Balancing Motherhood, Leadership, and Glamour with Grace and Authenticity”
Balancing the roles, she is a mother to an 8-year-old Lego enthusiast and a 2-year-old fashionista. Rooted in her passion for dance and driven by a natural inclination toward healing, those close to her describe Aisshwarya as a helpful and empathetic individual, always the first to volunteer assistance when needed. With an MBA from Symbiosis, she currently serves as the Chief of Staff at “Maniranjan Group” and is a Co-founder at “HOWDYY.”
This year marked a significant departure for Aisshwarya as she stepped out of her comfort zone, venturing into the uncharted territory of beauty pageants. Much to everyone’s delight, she not only emerged victorious but also earned the prestigious title of Mrs. Asia Pacific 2023, subsequently representing India in Mrs. Universe 2023.
Together with his mum an dad he was in my studio for a family portrait. His mother told me that she did not have a good single picture of Boris. Now she have. Shot in my studio using only one flashlight.
This shot of Mona was the start of a series that, at the time, I didn't realize would be so important to me. I was searching for a new type of lighting, something that could evoke deep emotions, starting with my own. The result was absolutely perfect—so intense... I'm really thrilled with how this photo came out!
I welcomed Naomi when she arrived at my studio with her mom and dad for a portrait shoot.
When Naomi chose this pink dress from my client closet, I didn't expect it to suit her as beautifully as it does. Paired with my favorite green backdrop and her intensely red hair, it was a match made in heaven.
She truly leaps off the screen with her captivating gaze, and the photo is a perfect complement to my aim of capturing pure, timeless, and authentic images.
The photo was taken in my studio in Brielle near Rotterdam using only 1 flash.
When I asked what kind of portrait he was looking for, he told me about "Believe in yourself and the strength that drives us to persevere, achieve and be grateful."
The portrait of this beautiful family was made at their house. Everything went smoothly except at the beginning, when I realized I'd forgotten to bring a diffuser. Luckily, they live in the same town as me, so I was able to quickly run home and grab it. The shoot went smoothly after that, and now the large-format photos I took of them hang proudly in their home.
These two are just the cutest and I can't wait for them to get engaged so I can photograph their wedding!
This is Lola. The photo was taken in my studio, in São José dos Campos, Brazil, with a single flash and I wanted to keep it simple.
