Magazine features

I have been writing monthly columns as the in-house Technique Editor of Digital Photographer magazine for nearly 3 years now. Next to that, both my written and photographic content was published in various countries including the UK, Germany, and The Netherlands.

My focus is on teaching photography and providing insights into all aspects of this art form. In my tutorials, I explain the technical aspects of photography in a manner that is convenient to understand for both amateurs and professionals, and I aim to showcase the possibilities that photography offers.

In my interviews and collaborations with professional photographers, I delve deeper into the stories behind their images and discuss their photographic approaches and challenges. This not only serves to entertain and inform the reader but also provides an opportunity to learn from the experiences of others.
