About Alain

Alain was born in 1968 in Den Haag, the Netherlands. In his professional career he is a healthcare psychologist, treating people who are diagnosed with severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia.

To him taking pictures is a kind of magic, it’s a fascinating way to create a new view of his surroundings and capture that image at the same time. It helps him to see the world in a new and interesting way. He enjoys the amount of control a photographer has over an image, it is a healthy antidote against all the uncertainty and confusion of the current times. And it´s a great way to express himself.

At the moment he is studying at the Dutch Academy for Creating Images (Nederlandse Academie voor Beeldcreatie) and learing about photography.

Besides photography and his work as a psychologist Alain cares a lot about animal welfare and (climate) justice. No art on a dead planet.
