System 03 Launch Campaign | The Ocean Cleanup
In August 2023, The Ocean Cleanup launched it's new cleanup technology, System 03, in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. I joined this six-week offshore mission as an Onboard Reporter for the non-profit organisation. My responsibilities included documenting this story and producing photos as well as videos around it. Besides filming and editing videos for social media channels such as Instagram and YouTube, i also covered this expedition in a documentary style for future long-form productions.

Guatemala | The Ocean Cleanup
The Ocean Cleanup has been working hard to tackle the plastic pollution problem in the Rio Las Vacas in Guatemala. I followed the founder & CEO of The Ocean Cleanup, Boyan Slat, as well as other team members on location as they research the problem of plastic pollution and develop new solutions to intercept the plastic before it reaches the ocean. In May 2023, the team installed the Interceptor Barricade to halt the yearly tsunamis of trash that flood the river during the rainy season. It was my responsibility to produce content around the installation and tell this story through photos and videos, as well as cover the project behind the scenes from a documentary stand point.

Working as Creative Content Producer Jr. for The Ocean Cleanup, I had the pleasure to document the hard work of the team - not only abroad in remote locations but also at their headquarters in the Netherlands. This for example included photography and videography at offsite events, documenting important meetings and taking team portrait pictures. Footage rights: The Ocean Cleanup
Töpferkunst | Urnenwerkstatt
Urnenwerkstatt is a newly established business in Vienna, specialised in handmade ceramic urns. For their launch, I've taken a series of photos and worked with them to develop a visual identity that creates a look and feel that fits with their brand values. Furthermore, I designed their website and online shop.
Underwater Beauties | Private Projects
I've always been fascinated by the underwater world. With my love for snorkelling and scuba diving it was only a matter of time until I took my camera with me and started to get into underwater photography.
Wildlife & Nature | Private Projects
The underwater world is magical, and so is life on land. I have a big passion for wildlife and nature photography and love going on safaris to capture wild animals in their natural habitat. The shots above were taken in Zimbabwe and Indonesia.
Research Content | The Ocean Cleanup
To better understand the plastic pollution problem and develop effective cleanup solutions, research has a high priority at The Ocean Cleanup.

KKO is a non-profit organisation based in Siem Reap, Cambodia. As social media volunteer for the organisation in 2019, I produced several videos to introduce KKO and their social enterprises, Off Track Tours and Off Track Accessories.
Street & Travel | Private Projects
With a passion for traveling and exploring different cultures, I have visited some very remote locations all around the world. I love working with natural light and capturing those little moments that happen in everyday life. Through my photography I aim to convey the emotions of those moments and tell stories through a single frame.
