A minimalist podcast recording corner featuring a suspended black condenser microphone in a shock mount on an articulated boom arm, hovering above a compact audio interface with glowing level meters and labeled knobs. Both rest near the edge of a charcoal desk surface, where a tablet displays a waveform editor with Dutch episode titles in a sidebar. The background reveals a softly blurred acoustic foam wall in geometric patterns. Cool, controlled studio lighting creates a focused pool of light on the equipment, with the surroundings gently falling into shadow. Photographic realism, shot from a low, three-quarter angle, accentuates the precision and professionalism of audio journalism while maintaining a clean, uncluttered, media-exam aesthetic.

Portfolio

Een persoonlijke selectie van reportages, gesprekken en beelden die mijn ontwikkeling als journalist in het examenjaar laten zien.

A carefully organized investigative workspace featuring a large corkboard on a neutral wall, covered with printed article drafts in Dutch, neatly pinned fact sheets, and color-coded index cards connected by thin red threads to represent story structures and sources. Below, a simple white desk holds a closed laptop, an external hard drive, and a labeled folder marked “Examenjaar – Dossiers.” Soft overcast daylight washes in from the right, creating even, shadowless illumination that highlights paper textures and pinheads. The composition is photographed straight-on with sharp focus throughout, emphasizing clarity and methodical research. The atmosphere is serious and methodical, in a photographic realism style that reflects the professional rigor of final-year journalistic work without depicting any people.
A high-end mirrorless camera with a sturdy black body and a large zoom lens, placed on a light oak table beside an open laptop displaying a draft article layout in Dutch, with headlines, subheadings, and empty image placeholders. Next to them lies a small stack of neatly printed interview notes, each page clipped and annotated with colored sticky tabs. Late afternoon natural light enters from the left, creating soft highlights along the camera’s metal edges and the laptop keyboard, while casting long, calm shadows. The shot is composed using the rule of thirds, eye-level perspective, and shallow depth of field, highlighting the tools of visual storytelling in a modern, professional journalism portfolio.
A modern media editing suite setup with a wide, ultra-thin monitor displaying a multi-panel interface: video timeline at the bottom, audio waveform of an interview on the left, and photo thumbnails for an article gallery on the right, all labeled in Dutch. The monitor sits on a matte black desk along with a compact mixing console, an external SSD, and a neatly stacked set of SD cards in a small metal tray. Subtle RGB backlighting along the back edge of the desk creates a faint cyan and magenta glow on the wall. Low-key, cinematic lighting from a single directional lamp creates contrasty highlights on the hardware, photographed from a slightly elevated, three-quarter angle for a dynamic, high-end, yet professional storytelling mood.
A collection of meticulously arranged print newspapers and glossy magazines in Dutch spread across a neutral grey tabletop, each front page featuring bold headlines, columns of text, and placeholder rectangular blocks where photos would normally appear, but intentionally left blank. A slim digital tablet lies among them, showing a clean news homepage with article cards and audio icons. Overhead natural light from a skylight casts even illumination, with subtle paper textures and faint creases clearly visible. The composition is photographed from a slightly elevated angle, emphasizing the transition from traditional print to digital journalism. The mood is analytical and professional, with photographic realism and a restrained color palette focused on whites, greys, and muted ink tones.
