Deze expositie brengt krachtige visuele verhalen samen van bakkers van over de hele wereld – een stille maar indringende ode aan onze gedeelde menselijkheid. Van de levendige kleuren van een Indiaas dorp tot het zachte licht in een Estse keuken: elke foto gaat verder dan brood alleen. Ze vangen een gevoel van plek, identiteit en aanwezigheid.

Op een bemoste steen, half verscholen tussen de bramen, zat hij: een smaragdhagedis. Een schitterend levend juweel, zijn schubben een mozaïek van groen en blauw, alsof de lente zelf in een flits was gevangen. Hij leek me te observeren met kleine, donkere ogen, alert maar niet angstig, alsof hij net zo nieuwsgierig naar mij was als ik naar hem.

Because I get so many of questions about my photography and editing procedures, I’ve decided to do something new. Soon, I’ll launch a private page where I’ll share all of this and much more. From my editing process to the software I use, from travel prep to gear choices – a peek into my creative process.

Isn't it fascinating how our world has changed? In an era where digital illusions have become the norm, we often find ourselves entangled in a game of ‘real or fake’? Our eyes, once trusted witnesses to reality, have transformed into the first skeptics. With every stunning photo shared online, the question inevitably arises: ‘Is this AI-generated?’

Some flowers, steadfast and proud, still bloom as if holding onto the last remnants of summer's warmth. Others, their petals fading, bow gracefully, surrendering to the change. Yet, there is no sorrow in this slow fading; only beauty, only the richness of colors more vibrant than ever, as though nature has saved its most glorious palette for these final moments.

Today, I lowered my perspective as close to the earth as I could get, and what unfolded before me was nothing short of magic: a miniature chard forest, painted in pinks and greens, shimmering beneath the autumn light.

I'm thrilled to announce that my photograph of praying women in the sacred waters of the Ganga in Varanasi has been selected as a winner in the Life Framer competition! It's an honor to have this moment recognized, and I’m grateful to the judges for acknowledging my work.

We are thrilled to announce that our photo/art book ‘The First Ingredient’ has finally been printed! This labor of love, nearly eight years in the making, is a testament to the dedication and passion of everyone involved in this unique photo project celebrating bakers worldwide.

HERONS' DANCE • [sound on] There’s no better way to start a grey Monday morning than watching the herons' dance in front of our house. The sun gently peeks through a light mist, casting a golden glow that gives them a fairy-tale-like appearance. Nature’s magic at its finest.
