Some of it was shooting food, but it was not my preference at that stage. I got a job at a magazine where I was the Chief Photographer. I studied photography in my home country, The Netherlands. I started working in fashion studios at the age of 16 and became a makeup artist at the age of 17, then set up my own makeup academy.
