I was originally trained as a professional photographer, bringing nearly ten years of experience in commercial photography. This background gives me a deep understanding of the time, budget, and effort required for professional productions. In post-production, my attention to detail and experience ensure a strong foundation for high-end retouching.
After spending ten years at major post-production house Magic!, and early adopter Postcards from Silicon Valley, I founded my own digital imaging studio in 2011. From 2011 to 2013, I also worked as a part-time teacher at the Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam. Teaching my craft and sharing my enthusiasm with young adults helps me stay sharp, calm, and focused.
I enjoy staying updated on the latest developments in the field and sharing my knowledge. If you need assistance with Photoshop or specific topics such as focus stacking, HDR, panoramas, animated GIFs, cinemagraphs, Midjourney, Magnific, or AI, don’t hesitate to reach out. When necessary, I collaborate with other 2D, 3D, and AI imaging artists from my network, whether from my studio in Amsterdam or on-site.
While I closely follow project briefs on the job, I also enjoy experimenting and exploring new ideas in my spare time. (Just take a look at my ears above!)
