The first birthday gift which really surprised me was a film camera. I was six years old.

Since then, the move to digital photography was just one of many changes in the way I photograph. I completed an Advanced Course of Travel Photography with the Photographic Society of Singapore¹ and a workshop on Editing Your Work with David H. Wells². After that, I took a course on Photographic Storytelling with the Dutch-born photographer Guus Rijven³ and a workshop on Short Story Writing with Lisa Friedman. I joined Pie Aerts² Visual Storytelling masterclass in 2023. My pictures have been featured in over 50 feature stories in press and three books I published in 2011, 2018 and 2020.

I work and live in The Netherlands since 2013. Before that, I lived in Portugal, Italy, the United States, Switzerland and Singapore. I am still as fascinated about photography as when I was a six-old.
