Kees was born in Assen in 1966. He grew up with the nature and landscape of Drenthe, where he still enjoys hiking and biking. His ever-present interest in photography gained more substance in 2016 by focusing on nature and landscape photography.

Inspired by Andrea Gulickx, in recent years he has mastered the technique of “Intentional Camera Movement” (ICM). Using the technique of a deliberately moved camera, he manages to give his photographs, which are more reminiscent of paintings, an atmosphere of their own.
