xxx ♥ – Oosterpark Rollerskating, Amsterdam Encounters

projects

Documentary photography Amsterdam Encounters – Since the 2020 Corona pandemic I started documenting random encounters in the city of Amsterdam. The city I live in and the city I love.

This is for the people on the streets, in places, going out, wandering, live, protest, celebrate, love & hate, winning & losing, or just be – in the city.

Visual Diary #027 – The COVID files

all posts, sketchbook

With all COVID-19 regulations in play, my circle is smaller than usual and more focused at home in Amsterdam. These limitations are in some ways refreshing and very reflective. And a great chance to try something different; a return to analogue photography.
