I am a conceptual photographer and art director. I finished a MA Photography at UAL London, and received a BA in Art-direction at Willem de Kooning in Holland. I have done part of my BA in New York on the School of Visual Arts. As a non-conformist, I want to let the viewer rethink their own behavior and desires in a humorous, aesthetically and surreal manner by creating my own sculptures.

- Smuggle your drugsIn collaboration with Vice, I created an 6-spread photo series for Vice Magazine. It gives a good example of my conceptual thinking and my photography. In festival (in Holland) it's allowed to bring in food to the festival camping areas, whereas drugs is forbidden of course.

- Monday Morning Meeting‘’Monday Morning Meeting'' is a photography series which explores the culture of work within the advertising industry, throughout performances. Power relations, unabashed careerism, and a zombie body of social norms are styled in the common currency of stock imagery. ‘’Monday Morning Meeting'' is a project by Marloes Haarmans and Focus Group.

For this reason, there is no better shoe brand to work with than Crocs. The odd silhouette, solid colours, holes and lightweight foam possess so much potential. With this pr
- This is not a love song.The human body gets constantly translated into everyday objects that make use of symbols of sexual identification. With this project I challenged the function of these objects’ by creating surreal and unrecognizable narratives that subvert our gender-roles. Each image is for the viewer to rethink the symbols around their own sexual and intimate behaviour.

- Anya's Fruit & Veg ShopAnya's Fruit & Veg Shop was a concept store designed as part of the Anya Village, located on Pont Street, London. The store was inspired by the traditional greengrocers that dot our street corners up and down the country; piles of fruit and veg stacked outside in crates, stickers on the fruit, a colourful strip curtain hanging over the door, bananas hanging from hooks on the wall and even a traditional till and scales. My role in this project involved designing the fruit sticker themed graphics
