How long have you been doing photography and what is the most interesting subject?:
I've been making photographs since I was twelve. After making polaroid I started with a darkroom and developing pictures myself. Nowadays, I go out to make pictures on a daily basis. I like shooting in Amsterdam. Next to making pictures on congress, I've been photographing weddings with a lot of fun.
