Giving out prizes after judging the 2018 Amsterdam Urban Photo Race Competition. We had an honor to greet most of the winners, talk to the jury and reveal some outline of our prospects for next year’s competition.

In the efforts to help build and support the local photography community, I’m very proud to having helped build a new marketing platform titled: Self Publishers United. A collective of more than twenty local photographers who have published their own photography books. The recently founded group will present itself for the first time at a stand during next week’s UNSEEN book market.

After having dedicated the last 8 years of my life creating the Amsterdam Photo Club, the club (and foundation) has grown as far as I am able to take it. Before building on top of this platform of over 4.500 members, I have decided to enter into a 4 year bachelor’s program in international business at the Amsterdam University of Applied Science. It is clear that the road forward will require additional business skills.

This year we started teaching our photography courses at the Amsterdam House of Arts & Crafts. A rustic and vibrant environment that sparks inspiration to those seeking to develop their photography skills. See upcoming events here: https://www.meetup.com/Amsterdam-Photo-Club/events/

Considering the cloudy weather conditions, I’m very happy with the lunar eclipse photo from tonight’s workshop with the Amsterdam Photo Club. ISO 320.000 f/4.6 1/50sec 300mm

This spring I was busy photographing the 2017 annual report for RIPE NCC. One of the five companies in the world that distribute the IP addresses on the internet.

Very impressed at today’s photo book fair by so many talented photographers producing analogue images. Though it felt a little like bringing sand to Sahara when you’re trying to pimp a book about selling digital photos online

A new year means new trend analysis and updated workflows for submitting and selling photos online. During my presentation at LAB111 in Amsterdam, participants learned how to sell their photos to advertising agencies, magazines, book publishers, newspapers, designers and anyone else seeking to licence photographs. We also covered the latest photography trend analysis and how these trends could be incorporated into a photographer’s portfolio. We discussed examples of intellectual property infringement and liability issues when selling your photography on the world’s largest photography licensing platforms.

As a hardcore fan of Annie Leibovitz, few photographers have been so excited about a photography course as I was when I discovered she was giving a masterclass. Annie Leibovitz’s course in photography was truly inspirational. Focusing on content of the photographs. rather than camera settings.

Photo assignment for the 2017 version of the new RIPE Atlas Anchor. These devices build the largest Internet measurement network ever made. RIPE Atlas employs a global network of probes that measure Internet connectivity and reachability, providing an unprecedented understanding of the state of the Internet in real time. The RIPE Atlas anchors are both enhanced RIPE Atlas probes with more measurement capacity, as well as regional measurement targets within the greater RIPE Atlas network. Anchors provide valuable information about local and regional connectivity,
