My Portfolios

Industrial & Academic Portfolio

With more than a decade of experience, I  strengthen the visual identity of my clients through industrial, academic, and corporate photography. 

I also headed communications departments in both the corporate and the academic world and this background enables me to get you the visuals you need – every time!

Product Portfolio

What I enjoy about product photography is that through spending time with an object that otherwise gets overlooked as a mere utility, beauty can be found in unexpected places.

Making the extraordinary within the ordinary visible for others always is a very exciting process.

Portrait Portfolio

It never seizes to amaze me how, by moving some furniture around and thus creating a carefully designed context for the subject, photography can condense the many facets of a personality into a still image.
