Photo contest
The real exitement for the results had gone, but it opened possibilities in rural aereas around the world.
With this picture I won a photocontest of a mayor newspaper in The Netherlands and this photo was published in the newsapaper.

Wall art
My employer was looking for wall art in the office and asked me if I had photos of people made during my travels and if I was prepared to supply the company with ten photos enlarged to 60x80 centimeters with passe partout and a beautiful aluminium frame.
That was very successfull, many collegues of me wanted a photo for their wall and within weeks at several other locations tens of my photos decorated the walls.
They were all photos of very special people I was able to photograph during my travels; Himba's in Namibia, Hmong in Vietnam to monks in Tibet.

Facebook
I photographed our personell and the photos were used within the company for an online 'who-is who' album and externally for commercial activities.
This resulted in a professional and uniform representation of the company to our customers.

Photo Academy Amsterdam
Because I wanted to know more about the special photo techniques and because I wanted to operate as an professional prohographer I attended the Photo Academy in Amsterdam.
I feel that I can be creative when making photos and that it makes me real happy when I've a camera in my hands; the technique, the interaction with my clients, creating beautiful results.
