Photography and writing

Ever since my first flights as a student-pilot, I felt the desire to document and share the views from my perspective as a pilot. Convinced that more people would see the unifying beauty of our little blue planet as I see it from my privileged position in the cockpit.

Photography
Growing parallel with my flying career, my experience from taking pictures from the cockpit and using a variety of equipment evolved over time, always trying to capture the incredible and often rarely seen things we see above.
Today, I'm focussed on delivering first-class images of the world from above. A combination of showing the poetic nature of flight, but also opening people up to appreciating the incredible beauty of our planet and beyond.
Documenting the world as I see from such a privileged point of view.

I am completely self-taught in the field of photography and developed my own style and techniques over the course of time, resulting in the unique work I create today. My photos have been shared worldwide by media, including CNN, BBC, TIMES, National Geographic, Daily Mail, The Sun and the list is constantly growing.

In 2019 I was awarded the title Special Photographer of the Year during the Lucie Awards, by the International Photography Awards (IPA). A huge boost for my motivation to continue with my mission and share the beauty from the above with the world

My new book 'Skybound - A 747 pilot's journey' is out now, available as a standard- and Limited Edition.
