What began with a simple camera and a curiosity for capturing moments has grown into a deep artistic pursuit rooted in storytelling and visual depth. My journey started behind the lens, learning to frame the beauty that came in front of my camera. As my passion grew, so did my skills—leading me to explore editing tools like Lightroom and Photoshop. It was through these platforms that I discovered the transformative world of composite photography. Today, my work is inspired by the timeless elegance of classic Dutch paintings—where light, color, and emotion tell the stories that I want to tell. I draw from the rich palettes, dramatic contrasts, and symbolic themes of the past to create modern portraits. With each image, I aim to blend historical inspiration with modern techniques—capturing not just a subject, but a story. My path forward is one that pushes creative boundaries, using the tools of today to breathe life into the frame of centuries gone by.
