    After a brief hiatus while I was on assignment in Chile, my photo feature in Universiteitskrant Groningen is back this week with a photo of Noor van Schaik. As head of student information & administration, she’s responsible for the enrollment of the university’s 28.000 students every year. To symbolize her role as ‘gatekeeper’ I asked [...]

    For the January issue of my monthly feature in Universiteitskrant Groningen I photographed Gert van Oortmerssen. This work remains a matter of feeling—it can’t be automated. Gert van Oortmerssen is conservator and analyst in the Laboratory for Conservation and Material Studies of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA). With the greatest care he restores the [...]

    For my monthly feature in Universiteitskrant Groningen I like to try and find a subject whose job is often overlooked and put this person in the spotlight. This month, that is literally what I got the chance to do with theater technician Frans van Rijn. What is more wonderful than a place to experiment? Frans [...]

    For the third installment of ‘Joris Kijkt‘ in Universiteitskrant Groningen, I photographed beadle Jan Huizing. It should stay this way—the way it’s always been. Jan Huizing has guarded over the university since 1980. He started working as a security guard and saw many incidents during those years. Recently he caught two burglars hiding in a [...]

    This is the second installment of ‘Joris Kijkt‘ in Universiteitskrant Groningen, featuring biologist Maarten Loonen. Maarten studies barnacle geese and spends several months a year on the Arctic island of Spitsbergen for his field work. Since a quick round-trip to the Arctic didn’t quite, erhm… fit the budget, I photographed him while practicing another passion [...]

    As of this week I have a returning section in Universiteitskrant Groningen called ‘Joris Kijkt’ (which translates to something like ‘Joris Sees’), for which I portray employees of the University of Groningen. The first installment features Jordan van der Ziel, who is a facility manager and oversees mechanical engineering projects:
