How did I get here?
My journey into sharing my travel experiences began during my study year abroad in England and France. Sharing my experiences on Instagram ignited a passion for storytelling and photography that has only grown since.
Now, I balance my work as an online marketer in Groningen with my love for travel, exploring Europe whenever I can. You can follow my adventures on Instagram.
What gear do I use?
- Primary Camera: Nikon Z6ii mirrorless camera with a Nikkor 24-120mm lens.
- Film Photography: Pentax MX with an SMC Pentax-M 50mm lens.
- Video Content: I use a combination of my mirrorless camera and an iPhone 15.
What gear did I start with?
My first camera was a Nikon D5300 with an 18-140mm lens kit, chosen just before my year abroad. It was a great entry-level DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) that allowed me to practice and grow as a photographer. I highly recommend this combination for its price!
After around two years, I upgraded to a Nikon D500 body, keeping the same lens that I loved so much.
How do I edit my photos?
I edit my photos using the Adobe Lightroom Mobile app. Since I prefer to edit on the go without a laptop, I transfer photos directly from my camera to my phone using an SD to USB-C cable. Once imported, I apply my custom made presets in Lightroom to bring my images to life.
