The brief was for an image that would be used as wall covering in the office of a ships broker in the port of Rotterdam. This wall measures 3 by 24 metres and the image had to be a sunset image of the harbor. I picked the ECT Container Terminal and created a panoramic image by seamlessly stitching a large number of images. The final printed file is a 1.5 Gigapixel image.

Series of images of isolated modern furniture. This series will be expanded regularly as more chairs, couches and tables are moved to the studio.

Eckhart Gallery is een galerie voor fine art fotografie, gevestigd aan het prestigieuze Noordeinde in het centrum van Den Haag.

BIA is a mechanical engineering company that wants to enrich its office spaces with fine art images of its core business. The graphic qualities and dominant shapes of the service ducts and machinery form the inspiration for this study in shapes.

The river Nederrijn is equipped with a series of 3 weirs, that control the flow of water from the Alps through the Dutch riverland. The weirs at Driel, Amerongen and Hagestein are currently being renovated and will become part of a larger effort to rejuvenate the riverfront. This photo shoot is dedicated to showing the genius loci of the area, with special emphasis on the weirs.

This series of images was shot inside a classic hotel interior. Vitrine, a Dutch group of mime players, wanted a series of images to show their work to potential costumors.

This project consists of a number of panorama's, created along the edges of the old city centre of The Hague. The images will be used in presentations and exhibitions about the redevelopment of this somewhat derelict area of the city.

These panoramas were produced for a housing block on IJburg, block 51A. This project was designed by Queeste architecten, who commissioned these panoramas of the front and rearside of the building. The images were made by combining deadpan shots of every individual house.

This series is a mix between product photography of high-end furniture and architectural photography of interiors. The client asked for a set of images that exemplify the beauty and clean lines of the (mainly) Italian modern furniture.

The Scheepstimmermansstraat in the Eastern Harbor Area of Amsterdam is a showcase of modern architecture. The street was subdivided into plots that were developed by different (young) architects. This resulted in a diverse series of buildings, all located on the water. My brief was to create two panoramic images of this street to show the diversity and playfulness in housing.
