Dutch 90s kid based in Rotterdam.
In 2015 I obtained a master degree in cultural anthropology, specialized in visual ethnography.
I use photography as a way of doing anthropology. My work focusses on cultural diversity, humanity and street life.
Currently, I am working on an ongoing documentary project about poverty in the Netherlands. For more information click here.
Update: my project Vergeten Voordeuren is selected for Rotterdam Photo Festival 2019
