Longread with some of my work, in Mediahuis’s op-ed ‘Alle Tijd’. Words by Bengt de Sitter “Since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022, the Dutch Foundation Protect Ukraine has been driving humanitarian aid convoys to Ukraine. For the first time, a convoy with only young adults is going east.”
Ik fotografeerde Roksana voor een stuk van Margriet Oostveen over de docuserie ‘Kinderen van Rutte’ voor @decorrespondent.nl “Waarom moest Mark Rutte uitgerekend aan migrantenkinderen uitleggen wat hard werken is?” decorrespondent.nl/15930/waarom...

The Flashes for Bluesky photo grid is finally here! Look at what it does to the images I uploaded so far on Bluesky 🦋 Where are all my photo industry people at?? apps.apple.com/nl/app/flash...
Today is the third year mark of the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I photographed the Boyko family who fled their country in 2022 and settled in Amsterdam, for a piece by Madelief van Dongen in Dutch newspaper Het Parool: www.parool.nl/amsterdam/he...
Some photos I took in 2024, intuitively. Working as a photographer for newspapers mainly, it can get tricky to keep the motivation and energy alive to photograph in my spare time as well. This year I intend to take more alone time off with my camera - just to keep the creativity flowing
I’ve really enjoyed exploring sports photography the past year. It’s so difficult it’s really pushing me on a technical level. And then seeing the team at De Volkskrant create this beeeeautiful lay-out with the images and videos is such a treat www.volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v...
My current Instagram feed. Let’s hope Bluesky will create the option for a similar grid soon (when Flashes launches?) so photographers are more eager to migrate here 🦋
