BMK

On the 7th of March 2020 I was able to defend the photobook, I made, during the BMK ballotage in Rotterdam (Photomuseum) with positive result. The jury was unanimous about the series. Thee BMK (Bond Master Klasse) is highest possible award within the dutch Fotobond. For me it was the 2nd BMK title, on the 7th of March I received the 1st BMK title, for the serie 'In the shadow of voices'.

Documentary Eindeloos gepest deel 3

In 2024 I was asked if I wanted to colaborate with KRO-NCRV in making a documentary for NPO3 (dutch tv). Three contestants of the series were filmed for the documentary. The photos were used to show the impact of bullying, as I intended. The documentary can be seen here.
