About Maurice Mikkers
Maurice Mikkers was born in Apeldoorn on 3 May 1986. After finishing high school in 2003, it seemed natural for Maurice to abide by his nurturing ways and pursue a career in which he could help people through laboratory research. Safe to say he ended up in Utrecht studying to become a licensed Medical Laboratory Analyst. Four years later he graduated and started an internship at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) which turned into a full time job researching the detection of Toxocara canis in Tissue by using a Polymerase Chain Reaction.
Having attained his goal and realising it to be too routine for Maurice decided it was time to embark on a new challenge that would tap into both his creative and technical side. He exchanged his lab coat for a Mac and Canon 5D (mkII) to study "Interactive media and design (I/M/D)" at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. Next to successfully pursuing his studies, Maurice works as a freelance photographer. His portfolio ranges from shooting stills for Grolsch to following kite surfers in the Western Sahara; from capturing audiences at festivals to bunnies for Playboy. For a full range of clients see the list below.

“I got to know Maurice in my role as coordinator and facilitator for the study Interactive/Media/Design at the Royal Academy of Art as a well-informed, enthusiastic, energetic, hard-working and talented student. Always in the know on everything out there in the field of technology or the technology enabled world. It's great to see him develop over the years and in search of finding his form, using his camera and photography skills to do so. His photography helps him on two levels: in meeting the right people and in thinking in stories, what you can see in his work. I'm happy to facilitate possibilities form him that help him finding himself in his form. Working with him is a giant pleasure.” June 22, 2009

“Maurice is great in capturing the essence of an experience. I've worked with him for Picnic'08 (Cross Media Event) / Mastermundo'08 (Creative Gathering) and several lectures at agencies / organizations and every time the experience of working with him were beyond what I expected! Great shots with his own unique treatment, nice grain – shooting images in tough lighting situations, from all angles without getting 'in the way'. He's a winner and I am a fan. Wishing him all the best.” May 20, 2009

“We needed good quality pictures of several key people in the Dutch music industry. Maurice not only made the pictures fast and efficiently, he also was capable of capturing the people in a way that showed their character and moved far beyond the traditional "snapshot".” May 3, 2009
