About Me
My name is Tom Sikkens and I am an Amsterdam based photographer, actor & model. Feel free to contact me for any inquiries
I have been a story teller for as long as I can remember. As a kid I was always telling stories to my younger brothers, or writing them down. I had my mother’s old VHS camera with which I would make movies and I could often be found on stage in the local theaters. Though it took my some years to make the leap and try to make my passion my profession I am finally here.
In my work I try to combine two of my longtime passions people and storytelling. I have always found people interesting and been curious about what drives them. This is one of the reasons of why I pursued a PhD in neuroscience. Though this might not seem intuitive for some people it made perfect sense for me: as an introvert I preferred to research human behavior by studying the biology of the brain rather than the psychology of the mind, which required interaction with actual people.
I have since discovered that academia is not the best fit for me and I’m finding new ways in which I can study people and use my love for storytelling, through acting and photography.
