Landscape photography with the iPhone 11 Pro Max

November 7, 2020

The iPhone has always been my smartphone of choice. Over the years, I have owned every new model and upgrade that has appeared on the marketplace and noted each time, when using it, just how good the camera has become, with its modifications and new integrations. The iPhones have always had great camera’s, but on the iPhone 11 Pro, it is something else! The iPhone can do about almost anything your DLSR camera is capable of! The device has allowed me to focus more on the content I create and help raise the bar higher as a photographer.

Lucerne in autumn: my top 5 photo hotspots! 🇨🇭

December 16, 2017

I had the great opportunity to visit Switzerland for an interesting campaign hosted by the touristboard of Switzerland. The concept was to showcase my photographs in an interactive ‘pop up’ gallery, where all of my works would be exhibited at the Central Station of Utrecht in the Netherlands, and at the Central Station in Antwerp in Belgium, together with 4 other amazing photographers. I visited the Lake Lucerne area in the Swiss Alps, towards the end of October, in Autumn. When nature’s palette was starting to slowly change, from the lush summer greens to the more predominate fall tones and colours, to which any photographer or tourist would be excited to capture. This time of the year I haven't yet experienced such conditions, in the alpine mountains of Europe. Read all about my nature adventure in the mountains here!

Swedish Lapland - Exploring Västerbotten 🇸🇪

July 4, 2017

I recently have had the experience to visit the stunning nature of Västerbotten in the Lapland of Sweden. Thanks to the relative proximity to the Arctic Circle, June offers 20 hours of daylight. As a photographer, I think this is perfect place to capture the brightness of the midnight sun and watch the perfect magic light shining over the many scenic landscapes Västerbotten has to offer. Did I mention Fika yet? Let me take you on a journey through this beautiful part of Sweden.

De Efteling, nog steeds een betoverend sprookje...

September 22, 2016

Eén van de geweldige dingen die ik me uit mijn jeugd kan herinneren is de Efteling. Hoe we er op schoolreisje heen gingen en hoe spannend de voorpret alleen al was. Ik was dan ook blij verrast toen ik gevraagd werd een fotoreportage vol met natuur voor dit sprookjesachtige pretpark te maken! Van mysterieuze kastelen die opdoemen in de mist, tot overnachten in Bosrijk waar de sprookjes over kabouters en roodkapje tot leven komen!
