He captures personalities from an angle that nobody has yet seen them from.
Pushing the shutter release at the exactly right moment is only the icing on the cake.

I helped Wendy to not only show this wide variety in locations – these pictures were taken during an event at the Rijksmuseum – but to also show who is behind the impressive event. That’s why I advised Wendy…
Coolness muss sichtbar sein. Das war und ist mein impliziter Auftrag bei der ALFA Brauerei in Schinnen.
