Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Dutch Minister of Finance, for Handelsblatt

I had the chance to meet and shoot Jeroen Dijsselbloem, Dutch Minister of Finance and current president of the Eurogroup. He was interviewed by six journalists, no chance to get him alone for even 1 minute. Hopefully next time!

Usually I am the one portraying people. What a nice surprise discovering, that fellow artist Marijke Lips caught me with her pencil during a recent shoot. Thank you Marijke for this great portrait!
