Biography

I am an amateur photographer, focusing these days on underwater photography. I have been diving for nearly 20 years, taking underwater images for most of that time. I live in Jakarta and enjoy the diving in Indonesia, enjoying the diverse and fantastic dive locations here. Of all the possible places to go diving in Indonesia, Lembeh in North Sulawesi is my favorite.

about me

Any special artistic influences?
I first try to get a technically acceptable image, maybe even capture some behaviour. If I manage that, and have some air left, I will look for a new angle or lighting – happens rarely!
What is the best photographic advice that you have ever received?
"Get closer", "Take lots and delete lots", and "Be organised'!
If you weren’t a photographer, what would you be?
Bored.
