- As an artist I would describe my field of activity as applied photographic art. I combine my work with the creative possibilities modern audio visual and multimedia equipment offer.

- Documentary work – usual with creative but minimal Photoshop adjustments – for example by combining photos I took from one scene in the polder on different moments (with specific colors such as a yellow corn field with wind mills or with close-ups of agricultural machines) in different layers. This results in an almost undetectable derealization (such as a sunny field in a cloudy landscape). Humans and objects are usually also undetectably minimally changed. A slightly deforming filter does not show reality but it does provide a clear image of the scene.
Characteristics are bright colors, detail photos and combinations of photos. I also try to provide a slightly altered look of humans in their surrounding in my photos.
