Maurice Mikkers was born in Apeldoorn (The Netherlands) on May 3, 1986. After finishing high school in 2003, it seemed natural for him to abide by his caring ways and pursue a career in which he could help people through laboratory research. After his internships at the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) in the Toxicology and later the Parasitology department, he graduated in 2007 and became a licensed Medical Laboratory Analyst.
In 2007, Mikkers started to study Interactive Media Design ( I/M/D) at the Royal Art Academy in The Hague (KABK). He graduated (Bachelor of Design) best in class in 2011, with the product and service called Photodispatch. A service that provides an interactive streamlined workflow for visual storytelling on any (online) medium. With three simple steps, high-quality photos are live within 60 seconds. A Social Media Asset Manager connecting photographers, clients and consumers.
During his time at the Academy, Mikkers started to work as a photographer and started to build a portfolio working with clients such as Adidas, Ernst & Young, Grolsch, Hennessy, Lay’s, Microsoft, Persgroep Nederland, Playboy, Radio 538, Randstad, Spotify, T-mobile and many more.
Besides his commercial work, he started in 2015 to work on Micrograph Stories, a project that is focused on creating awareness of daily consumed products by enlarging them underneath a microscope. Images that reveal the microscopical beauty of Drugs, Painkillers, medication & Food Additives. Witch also led to the making of its most known work “Imaginarium of Tears”.
Currently, he is working on his most recent project, “The Centrifuge Camera” creating a live view inside a lab centrifuge, showing you the process of separating different types of (viewer-suggested) samples. The separation is achieved by spinning the samples at 2500 times the earth’s gravity; samples are divided into different layers, each with their own densities.

“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.” – Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity

“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”.” – Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Good Value

“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.” – Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert
