Rite of Passage Photography
Life is in constant motion. Everything changes – in nature, and within ourselves. True strength lies in honoring and embracing that change.
Through my photography, I capture moments of transition: the raw grief of letting go, the uncertainty of what is to come, and the quiet beauty of transformation. Rites of passage are intense, pure, and profoundly honest. Within these thresholds, images can become anchors – sources of comfort, strength, and remembrance.
I am a Rite of Passage photographer based in the Netherlands, working with people around the world. I live for these moments of truth and intensity. I dive deep, exploring what lies beneath the surface, seeing beyond what the eye can see. From that space, images emerge that hold immeasurable value – guiding you through your process, revealing who you are, in both the old and the new.
This is my work. This is my art.
