I am a photographer, communications consultant and researcher from the Netherlands focusing on sustainable development issues. I support NGOs and aid agencies in spreading their message through compelling stories and images.

After earning a master's degree in Sustainable Development I initially worked with organizations to research ways to reconcile environmental conservation and inclusive development. 

Learning more about these issues I became interested in storytelling and photography as a way to draw attention to the positive impacts these organizations and the people they work with are making on the ground.

Having lived in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America, I enjoy engaging with people from different cultures and backgrounds. In the field I try to establish a connection, make people feel at ease and encourage them to share their stories, all in a respectful and ethical manner.

I cover a wide range of topics, including agriculture, reforestation, livelihoods, water & sanitation, land governance, conflict and peacebuilding. ​I speak English, Dutch, French, Spanish and German.  

 

Currently in the Netherlands, available for assignments worldwide.
