Last Wednesday I had the privilege of hosting a conversation with Alan McSmith at De Groene Afslag - and what a remarkable morning it was 🌿✨

Listening to Alan speak about living heritage and our deep, often forgotten connection with nature was both inspiring and moving 🌍💚 His stories challenged us to look differently at the world around us - and to reconsider our place within it.

After the talk, we walked through my exhibition spread across three floors of the hotel 🖼️📸 In many ways, my photography hopes to do something similar: to gently shake things up. The abstract aerial landscapes invite questions rather than provide answers. They encourage wonder, curiosity, and a moment of reflection about what we are truly seeing 🌄🔍

It is through that sense of wonder that an inner conversation can begin ✨ - about beauty, about our relationship with nature 🌱, about the source of so much that we value, create and enjoy. My hope is that by fostering a deeper sense of connection, we may also nurture greater gratitude, respect and care for the natural world 🌍🙏

We had an absolute blast 🙌

Thank you ALAN McSMITH for your wisdom, stories and perspective 🙏💫 And thank you Singer Laren for your help promoting this event 💛

My exhibition at De Groene Afslag is on display until the end of the year - go if you haven’t yet! 👀🖼️

Exactly one week ago, I opened my overview exhibition 10 Years of Photography at De Groene Afslag 🙌

Looking back at these past ten years feels both surreal and deeply emotional. So much of this journey has been guided by my connection to nature and wildlife 🌿🕊️
It’s where I find stillness, inspiration, and a sense of wonder.

Through my work, I try to capture that feeling—inviting you to slow down, look again and maybe see the world a little differently 👁️

From the icy landscapes of Iceland and Greenland (series Flight, Aqua Pura, and Frozen Past) ❄️ to the ever-changing colors of the Camargue in World of Salt, these images reflect both the beauty and fragility of our planet 🌍

If my work does anything, I hope it helps people feel more connected—and encourages us to care just a little more 💚

A heartfelt thank you to and all the people that made the opening into such a success 🙏

If you haven’t seen it yet, you’re very welcome to visit. The exhibition in the hotel is open daily from 8 until 22 hrs ✨

Sold the last available ‘Mid-Morning Blues, Torii Gate’, 2020 ⛩️🙌

It was pouring rain the first time I was about to see a Torii Gate. We woke up early, hoping to witness the sunrise behind the gate, but the rain was so heavy we could barely make it out. While others waited for it to pass, I embraced the moment — the mystical atmosphere, the quiet presence of Japan’s enduring myths… a standing invitation for the spirits to return home.

Thank you for giving this piece a new home 🙏
