Information for Clients

My pictures are about people, about life. Specially the photo documentaries that allow a more depth in the story. Always in focus for that little moment that can tell a whole story. A combination of the happening itself with some portraits.

Next to that my passion is real estate. Amazing how people can create such beautiful Villa’s & Hotels. The power of good image is incredible to attract people for renting or selling your real estate. In my work I focus on the colours, designs, compositions and light.

What do clients use your photos for? My clients use my work for all sorts of purposes. For newspapers, magazines, year reports, real estate, social media, websites, advertisement.

What kind of Camera gear do you use? I work with my Nikon D850, Nikon D750. with all kind of specific lenses for each assignment. I have also some studio flashes and a portable studio flash.

What about traveling?Traveling is my second nature, being born on a small island with over more than 100 different cultures learned me to connect with everybody. I am always ready to go to the other places where beautiful photoshoots are waiting.

Do you know about Social media content?

Are one of the most important marketing tools: through Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter and Snapchat companies and individuals can reach thousands on line. Good contents are a must but a picture tells more than a thousand words and I am proud to be chosen not only by companies but also by individuals to provide pictures for their databank. In order to understand the “ins & outs” of the social media I took a masterclass.

Do you do (photo) Projects?

I especially love making documentaries , especially photo reports because they allow me to give more depth to a story. Examples are to cover the process of a CliniClowns-training, a funeral of the father of a famous Curacao citizen and ( a long term project) covering the renovation of the ship Tres Hombres, an old minesweeper which took about three years to be rebuilt into a sailing cargo ship carrying our locally produced rum, chocolate and coffee to Europe, from the islands in the Caribbean A project like this will bring more environmental awareness among people.
Many photo projects also have a social purpose, to catch the attention for an object or situation that deserves it. My ideal aim is to get people moving for social themes, like a more sustainable society and a cleaner environment. Photography projects relating to sustainability get my special attention.

What about writing?

Photography is my profession. On request I can deliver captions. I can do ( short) interviews and record which can later be re- written or edited by a professional writer.

What do you know about you Curacao?
The power of an image can be magic and the island of Curacao is the perfect décor for beautiful pictures. Curacao is the island where I was born: it is still my home and my playground for my photography with its beautiful skies, its raw nature, colorful people, historical monuments and rich culture. The multicultural society of more than a hundred nationalities is very inspiring and ensures that it never gets boring. This small but diverse island in the Caribbean offers an enormous variation of environments from authentic, cozy alleys and historic mansions to white beaches and Miami-like beach clubs for different styles of photography. The tropical weather always provides beautiful sunlight, a dazzling sunset and magnificent night skies.
