ABOUT ME
Whenever possible, I take my camera to the Carnival in Maastricht and the Summer Carnival in Rotterdam.
My main purpose is to shoot portraits. Unlike any other day of the year, at the Carnival most people love to be in the picture.
This website shows a selection of portraits made over the years.
All pictures are as they have been taken. No Photoshop or any other processing has been applied.
This website is intended for pleasure. Not just for my own, but also for yours and for all people who are shown in the pictures. If you have any information about anyone in the pictures please be so kind to share it with me.
If you yourself are in a picture, but rather would prefer not to be in the Internet, let me know and I will take the picture away immediately. It is not my intention to hurt you - or anyone else.
This website is still under construction. Please have patience regarding any shortcomings.
