SEVEN YEARS. THoUsands of frames. One Consistent Lens.

My journey behind the camera didn't start in a classroom; it started in the pit of a concert venue and on the moving roads of the United States. As a self-taught photographer, my education was built on the fly. Learning to find the light in dark clubs and capturing the raw energy of the American music scene.

From Asheville to the Netherlands

For years, Asheville, North Carolina, was my home and my canvas. It was there that I cut my teeth in Media & Performance, documenting the artists and venues that gave the city its heartbeat. But in 2024, everything changed. Hurricane Helene took more than just buildings; it destroyed the very venues I worked in and the landscapes I had spent years documenting.

Witnessing that level of devastation shifted my perspective. It taught me that nothing is permanent, and that the role of a photographer is to be a witness. To capture the intervals of stillness before the world moves on.

The Current Chapter

Now based in the Netherlands, I bring that same resilience and observant eye to every project. Whether I’m documenting a Life Chapter, a Brand, or the Urban Environment, I work with a sense of urgency and intentionality. I’ve moved across the US and eventually across the Atlantic, and through every transition, the camera has been my constant. I don’t just take photos; I create a visual archive of what remains. My style is rooted in that history. Clean, minimalist, and honest.


I am here to document your history, with the respect it deserves.
