Date of Photograph

During my journey through Myanmar I visited a nunnery in Sagaing. The Buddhist nuns allowed me to photograph some of their (daily) activities like preparing a religious ceremony by making a picture with local flowers, dish washing etc. While observing these women I realized that daily life in a nunnery is hard working.

Biography
I am a photographer and cultural anthropologist living in the Netherlands. My focus is on the human living and working conditions and on cultural events and festivals. I am engaged in documentary and event photography. My photos were shown in exhibitions in the Netherlands and in Japan (Hirado 2017). Travelling is still my passion and has taken me to many countries in Asia, Europe and Northern Africa. Very recently I visited different regions of Morocco.
