About Me

"Take the pictures you want to take. Don't think about the marketplace, what sells, or what an editor might say. And don't think about style. It's all bullshit & surface stuff. Style happens." - David LaChapelle, photographer

Zoet (pronounced Zoot): adjective - Dutch for Sweet
I make TV commercials by day, and photograph people by night. I am always looking for more photography opportunities. So if you are an aspiring or established model , a band looking for promo or live performance photos, or just someone who wants some kick-ass photos to show friends or to document this time of your life...just send me a message and we'll work something out.
I do not do any TFP (Trade For Print) work. If you're interested in shooting, just visit my website. My rates are all listed in the pricing section.
Here are some examples from my photo shoots.

My favorite and most treasured book ever is "The Complete Calvin and Hobbes." A special thanks to my amazing fiancée for getting me that for my birthday!
I spend a lot of time reading instructional books for computer software, and anything to do with teaching myself to be a better photographer. So unfortunately I don't spend much of my free time reading for pleasure. However, here are some I read in the past.
