Escaping society for a life in the Norwegian mountains, Nils shares his dream-life with the online world.
I had already worked with director Joost van der Wiel on his first short documentary The Shepherd. This was our first feature-length project. Circumstances up in the Norwegian mountains weren't always great, but his companionship and the close bond we developed with Nils overtime made working there a breeze. We had many good laughs!

Observing documentary about a group of boys on the brink of manhood. Shot on the Dutch island of Texel.
One of many wonderful projects I worked on with director Judith de Leeuw. I shot this documentary completely handheld to get as close as possible to our subjects and to give the viewer the feeling that the camera is just an entity, floating around and observing these young men. Still one of my favourite films I worked on as a cinematographer

Exploring the relationschip between author Karin Amatmoekrim and her father, Taekwondo-grandmaster Eric Lie.
I was filming a documentary about Dutch actress Halina Reijn with director Gülsah Dogan when she told me about this project. I was immediately intrigued. There were so many questions unanswered for Karin about her father, whom she had hardly known throughout
her youth.

92 year old, this general practitioner is still working six days a week.
Sometimes, in my work, I meet people you would only dream existed. Doctor van Hasselt sure is one of them.

Portrait of Dutch artists and twin sisters L.A.Raeven.
One of the directors who have been very important to me is Astrid Bussink, together with whom I also made a feature length documentary about the fireworks disaster that happened in Enschede in the year 2000, as well as a beautiful children's documentary that won a Golden Calf at the Dutch Film Festival, called Achter De Toren.
