time off

I would like to share some news with you. I'm currently exploring new areas of photography so I might not be posting before some time.

I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

the story of 7 young dutch gymnasts

This Saturday, I attended the first training session of 7 young and talented gymnast girls. Aged 12 to 17 yo, they train 10 hours per week and compete on a national level for some of them.
Over the next few months, I will follow them and hope to understand who they are under their uniform.
I want to write their story.

the real deal

I've just started working on a new photo project that will document the lives of teenagers. Real life, no posing, no cheating.

(thanks to Miro, Jennifer and their friends for being so natural in front of the camera).
