→THE MENU
CLIENT
Art
ROLE
Creative Director / Photographer
- My proudest work to date! Food photography has become a mainstream phenomenon. Restaurants, food bloggers, home cooked meals, it’s #foodporn everywhere. In the mass of all these sharable photos, food tends to turn into something superficial.

→THE UNBIAS BUTTON
CLIENT
Elan
ROLE
Director / DOP
- Together with ElaN Languages, we tackled this inherent gender bias by updating their online translation tool with a new feature: The Unbias Button. Traditional gender-biased job titles are automatically updated with an unbiased alternative, hopefully contributing to a level playing field where everyone has the same opportunities and every industry has access to all the world’s talent.

→BERNARDUS GOLF
CLIENT
Bernardus
ROLE
Lead Design / Art Direction / Photography
- At its core, Bernardus is only one thing. It is not a wine brand, a golf brand, or a brand of any other products or services you can think of. No, Bernardus is an experience brand. More than eating, drinking and golfing, Bernardus wants to give you something which once you have, you can never forget. Memories.

→SCHOOL FOR JUSTICE
CLIENT
Free A Girl
ROLE
Visual Design / Art Direction
India has the most underage girls in prostitution in the world. Despite the magnitude of the problem, the amount of prosecutions against the criminals involved is incredibly low. Because of the reason that the perpetrators are not being punished, these crimes keep on happening. The School for Justice is a radical yet tangible solution to this deeply rooted problem. The aim of the school is to educate girls rescued from child prostitution to become lawyers and prosecutors with the power to take action against the criminals that once owned them
