Combining photography and development policy sociology in photography projects.
Focussing on social changes and its effects on society. Like underdevelopment and development, human rights issues, refugees, migrants, the multicultural society and changing human perceptions.
Addressing subjects and issues that went unnoticed or already have been forgotten by the public, in order to keep them under public attention and to change existing perceptions.
Small stories, everyday life subjects instead of the breaking news items, but nevertheless indicative of circumstances.
Photo projects are mostly self-initiated and self-financed.
Experience with curating exhibitions.
Combining work as a photographer with consultancy, teaching and research.
Interested in developing myself as documentary film maker.
HEAT Certified.

Special interests: human rights and justice, development policy & cooperation, healthcare, citizen participation in the planning and implementation of (government) policy.
