Wat vind je het leukst aan je werk?

It's the moment I sit down in the edit and everything starts coming together. The shoot is done, the cards are loaded, and suddenly you're watching something that was just an idea, just a day of running around with a camera, turn into something real. Something that actually feels like what it was supposed to feel like.

That moment never gets old. No matter how many times I've done it, there's still something that is different when the right clip lands on the right beat, or when a single frame captures exactly the energy you were chasing on location. That's the payoff.

Welke soorten shoots heb je gedaan en hoe heb je ze speciaal gemaakt?

Omakase is unlike any other restaurant shoot. The whole experience is built around intimacy; a small counter, a chef working inches away from you, each course arriving like a deliberate statement. I wasn't just photographing food, I was documenting a performance. The focus in the chef's eyes, the precision in every plate, the way each dish was almost too beautiful to eat. My job was to capture that without disrupting it, to be present without being in the way.

Race days are a completely different energy from a static shoot. A parked car is about detail and presence; you control everything. A race day is controlled chaos, and that's what makes it special. The cars are alive. There's heat, noise, speed, and stakes. The shot isn't waiting for you, you have to chase it. Getting that one frame where everything lines up, the motion blur is right, and you can almost hear the car through the image, that's what keeps me coming back to the track.
