Two decades ago my fascination with Africa began to evolve when I spent 6 months in Gabon working on a project, after my graduation from Nyenrode Business school. The culture, stunning nature and the people with their special wit and humour intrigued me from the very beginning. I returned to this magnificent continent to travel from Morocco to South Africa and was deeply affected by the variety of landscapes and the beauty of the women that I encountered. Since this journey I knew I wanted to become a photographer to depict the independence, pride and sensuality of the African women. The very different colours and aspects of Africa keep me going back again and again. In these twenty years I went through personal and professional growth and I realise Africa has been a fundamental part of my evolution. With these series I want to pay tribute to this magical continent. (Photographs are from a series of 9)
