I create worlds through photo and video. Finding the exact right moment where I see a reflection that communicates a feeling more than a product. Where you see a person, rather than the project.
Creating stories in all kinds of ways has my heart. I picked up my first camera at age 13, fascinated by animals and nature. I started out as a journalist, where I learnt how to capture stories in text.
I moved to Amsterdam to dive into art direction and video. Then moved to Cape Town to set up remote photoshoots in unique locations. My stories became more and more about the nuances between moments. I love stories on paper, blown up photographs and unexpected artworks.
Photo, text, graphic design and video are how I express myself.
I would love to get to know you. Over a phone call, city walk or a cup of coffee.

A LIFELONG TREASURE HUNT
I have always collected all sorts of things I found in nature.
As a little girl I picked up my treasures and shoved them in my pockets. Up until the moment where my small coat was so filled up, and it would not hold a single pebble.
These photos are an ode to those lifelong treasures. I never stopped collecting, and hopefully I never will.
