Personal
- Gekleurd Naakt
- Colored nudes: website of two ladies, Saskia Hoek and Iepke Seebregts, who created the unique bodypaints in my portfolio. Unlimited in their creativity and always in a fresh, sparkly mood, these two are a added value to any production.
- Sandra Savic
- Without the endless motivation of this model my series "Illusive Woman" would have never existed. Most other models would have walked away from this project before half of the images was finished, but not Sandra. Stupid remarks about chocolate sprinkles, nor technical blunders on my part could divert her attention from the set goal: a series of unique images. Thank you!
