Camera, light, action! Where work is being done on image and/or sound, I come into action. My head runs on a motor called creativity. This manifests itself in making videos and music. I prefer to use this combination as a means of communication, because an image speaks more than a thousand words.
In 2017 I graduated as a video maker/storyteller from the Communication & Multimedia Design course at the Noordelijke Hogeschool in Leeuwarden. During this training I have always been given what is so nice within the field of image and sound: freedom to constantly develop yourself. For example, during my school days I was able to carry out very diverse projects: from video portraits to afterfilms of events.
In addition to possessing the knowledge in the field of image and sound, I am also someone who prefers to pass this on to others. There is nothing nicer than seeing a satisfied look on someone's face after you have helped someone in the field that fascinates you so much. That is why I often volunteer to give people answers to questions in the field of image and sound.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm a video maker or a construction worker. What I do is build bridges between problems and solutions by using moving images. Communication through text is often so static, image creates dynamism. This dynamic keeps the world awake and ensures that everyone speaks much more: metaphorically.
