This weekend, my book Fast Track to Stock photography will be available for sale at the Naarden Photography Festival. which runs from 25-30 May 2019. The festival offers visitors a unique experience. This experience is created not only by the exhibits, but also by the dynamic and extensive program of activities. The visitor is challenged to participate in portfolio reviews, guided tours, lectures, competitions, a meet & greet with the exhibiting photographers, book reviews, book signings and educational projects.

My book ‘Fast Track to Stock Photography’ toured the Eindhoven photo book fair last week. This was the 3rd edition of the fair. where photo books were being showcased by booksellers, publishers, antique dealers and photographers. Available on Amazon:

8 March is International Women’s Day – an annual milestone celebrated for more than 100 years to raise awareness on women’s rights. This year, the theme is “Balance for Better” – a call-to-action to drive gender balance across all areas of life.

It is not easy photographing technical gadgets that are not produced to look sleek in a home environment. And the RIPE Atlas probe from the European Internet Registry, RIPE NCC, is no exception. There are thousands of these probes located all around the world collecting and measure Internet connectivity. Anyone can access this data via Internet traffic maps, streaming data visualisations and an API.

My book, Fast Track to Stock Photography is on sale as part of the Special Publishers Fair (Beurs van Bijzondere Uitgevers) in the Paradiso, Amsterdam. At this fair, publishers from the Netherlands and Belgium present and sell their new and old titles in the field of literature, literary non-fiction and visual arts. The contribution of these specialist publishers to the Dutch-language book offer is indeed relatively small, but of high quality; every important Dutch author has been published by these publishers in the course of his or her career.

My photo of the Einsteinweg in Amsterdam was recently licensed by the media house McCann Bucharest for a press and digital campaign for Vodafone Romania. Text translation: “With Vodafone you keep your business close, so you can aim further”.

Next week, the book ‘Dood Kind‘ (Dead Child) will be published featuring a portrait photo I have taken of the author Norbert Splint. The book features stories depicting various suicide methods and main characters which become cynical, racist or both. The stories are timeless, do not have a plot and can, except for a single internet connection, take place in 1947 and 2017 or in between.

A very exciting weekend. My book ‘Fast Track to Stock Photography’ is on sale at the Amsterdam Photography fair UNSEEN, together with a great group of other talented photographers.
