Welcome to the personal website of Ork de Rooij
Ork.be is the personal website of Ork de Rooij. I'm a PhD student at the University of Amsterdam where I research advanced visual interfaces to explore, categorize or simply search through large video collections.Would You Like to Know More?
When I'm not doing that I'm probably out photographing. I've been an enthusiastic photographer ever since my parents put a cheap compact in my hands decades ago. I found it marvelous to be able to capture something beautiful, and relive the experience much later when you look at the pictures. In the last couple of years I have expanded this to professional photography. Would You Like to Know More?
Latest post: An early morning shoot
The cause of all this was an early morning sunrise photoshoot I did with Annet for Marianne, one of her characters. I really like the results myself! I must do this waking up thing more often! ;) :)

Flickr, however, isn't designed to show a structured collection of large, eye-catching beautiful pictures, so I've ever been on the lookout for a solution. I found this in November 2009, when I discovered zenfolio.com. Since then, I've started building a collection over there as well. Please do visit Ork de Rooij's photo portfolio there!
