Police chase - a dummy book and visual research into the televised police chase. Made world famous and romanticised by Hollywood and the O.J Simpson chase in 1994, but also a very deadly thing with more than 300 people dying every year as a result of the chases. Palm trees, crashes and highway overpasses, tv helicopters make every chase into an televised real life action movie.

Ticket to paradise is a collection of iPhone photo’s made in the past 5 years. With every new model I got, the camera got better and I started shooting more and more of my everyday life. The iPhone makes taking pictures so easy, that the book shows a more playful, honest and spontaneous life.

Own your piece of the sky - dummy 4. 

My thesis from 2019 - Deconstructing the political image. In my thesis I looked at 12 different political ‘iconic’ images, comparing them with every other image available from the same event. In 4 of the 12 photos, an image editor chose an image that was not representative of the meeting or of the politicians themselves. It made me realise how much influence image editors and newspapers actually have on how we view politicians.
