About
Photographer and videographer from Amsterdam.
It all started with my mother's cameras. As a kid I took them every chance I got, and I grew up playing baseball (I still play, for the Tridents), so the two were always going to meet. I studied International Business and Management, then chose this path anyway.
A ballpark is where I feel most at home. I shoot photo and video, cut my own edits and plan how the story gets told, from the first frame to the last post. In 2019 my press accreditation for the softball Olympic qualifier in Utrecht was turned down, two days before it started. I ended up working the tournament anyway. It was my first real job in baseball and softball.
Since then most of my work has been for Team Kingdom of the Netherlands. I've followed the national team to three European Championships, two World Baseball Classics, the Premier12 and Japan, and the softball women to a European title and a World Cup ticket. At Euro Baseball 2025 in Rotterdam I led the KNBSB content team, and the team won gold. I also made Keys to the Kingdom, mini documentaries about the team's greatest games.
At home I'm at a Hoofdklasse ballpark most weekends. At the end of 2025 Gijs van Zalingen and I started Honkbal Hoofdklasse, the place for scores, stats and stories from the Dutch top league. In 2026 I launched Siendr, a marketplace where players buy the clips of their own big moments.
Outside baseball I make music videos: more than twenty-five so far, over fifteen of them for WIWI since 2020, and since 2023 for Nami Un Man, his project on Bonaire that helps young artists grow through music. I've also filmed ski races, festivals, SAIL Amsterdam and events like the AFAS Circustheater symposium and NL Expo in Osaka.
