In this item editor Jop de Vrieze and me meet researchers, scientists and academics from all sort of specialisms, giving a rather personal view on conducted research methods in their field.

It is great to work on the same item for a few years now. Also because of the strict requirement by the magazine to shoot in black and white. Which happens not so much nowadays. And forces me as photographer, to reinvent looking in black and white.

Editorial Portrait: Casper Thomas for Folia Magazine

publications

For Folia Magazine, I was out for a portrait of Dutch journalist and author Casper Thomas. Thomas wrote Competente Rebellen (Competent Rebels), a publication about the 2015 Maagdenhuis occupation at the University of Amsterdam.

Picture had to be taken with Maagdenhuis in the background. The situation 10 minutes before shoot:

Portrait photography on the streets can be challenging; you can almost never have full control of all things in a crowded area. I let things just happen and try to take benefit from the element of surprise.
