I create Branded VR/360 experiences that push the boundaries of storytelling with new technologies. I've spent the past two years creating original and visually striking work that transports viewers through virtual reality headsets. In having a film-making background I have used my prior skills and knowledge to develop a unique style in capturing and directing virtual reality based experiences.
In the past year I have been a part of some big projects for companies like; ING, Tommy Hilfiger, Massive Music and Nestle.
I was the Director of Photography of Ashes to Ashes which was nominated for a Dutch Academy Award in the Interactive Category.
