Visual Diary #027 – The COVID files

all posts, sketchbook

With all COVID-19 regulations in play, my circle is smaller than usual and more focused at home in Amsterdam. These limitations are in some ways refreshing and very reflective. And a great chance to try something different; a return to analogue photography.

Beside some changes under the hood – in general to give a better impression for visitors on mobile and tablet devices, the portfolio section has been renewed.

In the new portfolio there are now more possibilities to showcase film and multi media projects. Since I’m gradually moving more to film and visual storytelling.

Please feel welcome to see new work (photo and film) on the portfolio, in the work section. Or read the latest news, projects, publications in the news section!

This new site is running on, and with many thanks to:

For New Scientist magazine I have been assigned to do editorial portraits for the monthly article Opinie Interview.

In this item editor Jop de Vrieze and me meet researchers, scientists and academics from all sort of specialisms, giving a rather personal view on conducted research methods in their field.

It is great to work on the same item for a few years now. Also because of the strict requirement by the magazine to shoot in black and white. Which happens not so much nowadays. And forces me as photographer, to reinvent looking in black and white.
