HUMANS | Travel & Documentary Photography 1980-2020
HUMANS IS SHOWING THE WORLD SEEN DURING MY TRAVELING YEARS AS A DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER. INHABITED BY ORDINARY PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT CONTINENTS, STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE IN A WORLD NOT FAVOURING THEM. DOING UNHEALTHY AND POORLY PAID WORK IN UNDERGROUND MINES AND OBSOLETE FACTORIES.
HUMANS CONSISTS OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL-JOURNALISTIC PHOTO DOCUMENTARIES MADE BETWEEN 1980 AND 2020. FROM 2005 ONWARDS, THE FOCUS IS CHANGING FROM THE WORLD AT LARGE TO MADAGASCAR. AT THE END OF EACH DECADE YOU WILL FIND TRAVEL SECTIONS WITH SINGLE PHOTOGRAPHIC SCENES OF PEOPLE.
EDUCATED AS CULTURAL ANTROPOLOGIST I DID START WORKING AS A PHOTOGRAPHER FOR DUTCH NGO'S LIKE UNICEF, NOVIB AND OTHERS. FROM 1985 ONWARD I AM REPRESENTED BY PHOTO AGENCY HOLLANDSE HOOGTE, NOWADAYS PART OF ANP.
