Studied Graphic design in Amsterdam and worked as an assistant and art director for 2 1/2 years before setting of on an almost 6 years long journey around the world. During this time making his travel money, ones savings ran out, by designing backpacks, which were manufactured in Nepal, and sold through Europe and importing Santa Claus hats from Hong Kong to Germany which were sold on the German Christmas markets. In Singapore he bought a camera which got stuck to his hand on the rest of his trips. Observing human life and capturing the greatest, funniest, most touching and beautiful moments he could find was all he wanted to do.
