COACHING & WORKSHOPS

With more than 14 years of experience in higher education I’m most passionate about supporting artists in finding their own artistic voice and the subjects that matter to them.
Photography is the common thread in my practice as a visual artist and in my work as a teacher, but I like to broaden my content and also have extensive experience as a teacher of photography history and theory-related subjects. I have worked with institutions such as the University of Amsterdam, Syracuse University, Inholland University of Applied Sciences, Willem de Kooning Academy, and St. Joost School of Art & Design, among others.

I’m open to freelance or more permanent positions at art schools/ universities but also available for one-on-one discussions on your practice, specific projects or any other questions, this can happen individually or in a group setting.

on (digital) archiving

Does the content of this box look familiar when it comes to your own archive?
Do you always have to dig deep to find the images you know you definitely have somewhere?
Whether your negatives are stored in an old-fashioned box or in digital folders,
organizing an archive—professional or personal—is a major challenge for many.
Especially in the digital age, images can easily pile up into the thousands.
How do you keep an overview?

In this workshop, we approach archiving from an analogue perspective, then gradually transition into the digital realm.
How can you bring order to your archive, what are some methods you can use, and how do you find a workflow that suits you? What are international standards, should you rename your files, and what exactly was metadata again?
We’ll also get hands-on with your own archive—whether it’s professional or personal.

This 2-2 1/2 hour workshop can be taught online as well as on location.
Some of the institutions that came before you and booked this workshop for their students include St. Joost School of Art & Design, Willem De Kooning Academy and the University of Amsterdam.
