Born and raised in the city of Rotterdam i felt already from young age interested by the port and its 24/7 industry.

During the time i discovered the beauty of the heavily used, worn and damaged materials like steel and concrete.

Objects, other people will pass without notice, tell stories about their rough life, and this aspect attracts me.

The worn steel for instance transfers into a colorful surface with amazing rusty and dirty patterns.

In my photographs i try to capture these impressions and hope other people can also enjoy this simple but amazing world of steel, concrete, wood and, ofcourse, water.
