LANGUAGES:
Dutch (native), English (fluent), French (basic), German (basic), Spanish (basic), Dutch Sign Language (good enough for communication, not always grammatically correct)
ACTING BACKGROUND:
I am often hired because of my sensitivity to people and acting. I love people and their psychology.
MOTION CAPTURE/VFX:
For the past 3 years I have also freelanced for Imaginarium Studios (motion capture company of Andy Sirkus) as a motion capture camera operator and as a body tech on famous video games, and on feature films such as: 'Starwars Ep. VII: The Force Awakens', 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron' and 'Jungle Book' (2018 version).
This has definitely given me a good understanding of filming with vfx and motion capture.
CINEMATOGRAPHY TEACHER:
In addition to my work on set, I also occasionally teach at the Met Film School in Ealing Studios (London). It gives me great pleasure to work with people who are passionate and fresh in their approach to the profession! Always a nice change.
DANCE:
I LOVE dance! I used to dance a lot myself, but if someone has a production where dance plays a big role: PLEASE!!

I am 29 and passionate about my profession. My life has always been about art and aesthetics, both practicing and admiring. In my life I have danced, drawn, painted, crafted, photographed, acted and made music.
I have been living in England for 10 years now, have completed 3 years of drama training in Leeds, 2 years of film school in London, and almost 5 years of work experience in the camera department and as a cinematographer in England.
My current goal is to expand more internationally. Since I am based in Amsterdam as well as Madrid, besides London, the Netherlands and Spain are the first places I am focusing on. Although my year started off really cool in Qatar!
Creatively, my interests lie in both narrative and commercial. I find the variety particularly interesting. In terms of collaboration, I am always looking for people who throw their 'all' into a project, and people who are above all truly themselves.
(Disclaimer: my apologies for my possibly somewhat anglicized language!)
