The Stroopwafel Eaters
I promised you to publish a series of photos I shot together with Cathelijne Hornstra during a street photography workshop lead by Fokko Muller.
Fokko gave us the assignment to follow someone on the market place and shoot multiple photos – without being noticed – that together would make a little ‘story’.
Although it was an individual assignment, the day after the workshop I found out that one of the other participants, Cathelijne Hornstra, made a series of the same couple right after I finished my series. We agreed to join our photos and make one mega-series.

My Post-Processing Workflow in RawTherapee
I like to read a lot about how other photographers go about post-processing their work. So I thought I’d share my post-processing workflow with you guys.
Street Photography Workshop with Fokko Muller
Last weekend I travelled to Rotterdam to take part in a street photography workshop lead by the famous Dutch street photographer Fokko Muller*.
I took part in two of his ‘Street Photography Fundamental’ workshops a couple of years ago, but this time I upped the game and decided to register for Fokko’s ‘Advanced’ workshop. Unfortunately, all of his Advanced workshops were fully booked, so I asked to be put on the waiting list.
I never expected to be invited, but to my surprise I received a message from Fokko a couple of days before the event, asking me if I was still interested to join his workshop. Yes off course I was!!!
The day before, I gathered all my gear, charged all my camera batteries and packed my bag. The weather forecast was looking good, so I packed light.
Rotterdam Tattoo Convention
I should have written this post a lot earlier, because it has been a week now since I visited the Rotterdam Tattoo Convention. At this event tattoo artists, entertainers and vendors of tattoo supplies came together and presented themselves to the public.
Why You Should Print Your Photos
I have a confession to make.
I’ve been an amateur photographer for some time now and I’ve published a lot of pictures, but I’ve always shied away from printing them. I think this has to do with bad experiences I had with printing family photos. They never looked quite right. Read more
New Year’s Resolutions: Time to Quit Street Photography?
First of all, I’ll start off this post wishing you all a happy new year! I hope your wishes will come true in 2018.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, let me go on with my blog post.
Last year I’ve become increasingly unhappy with my street photography hobby. This was partly due to problems I had with my knee. Walking – even for short distances – was extremely troublesome. As a result, I was unable to do street photography most of the time. But there was another reason. Read more
