The streets of Rotterdam

The streets of Rotterdam – from Roffa with love.

The streets of Rotterdam offer a rich and diverse range of subjects for photography. From its modern architecture to its bustling street life. Whether you’re a street photographer, an architecture enthusiast, or just looking to capture the energy of this incredible city, Rotterdam is a must-visit destination for photographers. And my favorite city in the Netherlands.

Last Saturday, on a gloomy and rainy day, after the visit to the Kunsthal went for a Photowalk with my student. The main goal was the introduction to street photography, which is a challenging and rewarding genre that requires both technical skills and creativity. It’s an opportunity to observe and document the world around us, and to tell stories through images. Street photography often involves capturing spontaneous moments, so it’s essential to be quick and discreet in order to capture the right moment. The key to successful street photography is to be aware of your surroundings, anticipate interesting moments, and have a good eye for composition. It’s also important to have a good understanding of exposure and the use of light, and post-processing techniques to enhance your images.

Back to the past 2015/2016

I’m recently working with[in] my photography archive. Trying to organize projects which never were published. What a surprise I had when I found these pictures. I was photographing the artworks hanging in strange and hidden places in the city of The Hague. When I discovered the first one, finding more was much easier. Hopefully, I’m going to find the name of this project as well. It is somewhere deep 😉

2022

For the last 10 years, I’m photographing daily mornings as the main part of my documentary project “Mornin’ “ 

I’m using only a mobile phone, starting with my iPhone 2 (the first one with a decent photo camera).

I’ve struggled with depression at that time and as a photographer, I couldn’t do anything. I was paralyzed on so many layers. One day I realise that my days going on autopilot, quite scary if u don’t remember the route u took to work, etc.

Photographing with the smartphone which I always had with me was my therapy. The idea was to take just one picture in the morning. So I start looking around while on my bike. And even if it sounds pathetic to you I realize how beautiful (and imperfect) the world around me is. 

I start posting it on social media – Instagram- and still doing it –

Mindful living and creating.

First such a snow in Lowlands in 10 years. I truly was missing it. Sunday morning walk in snow storm condition – 15km and breathtaking moments of snow fall. To the beach and back. Full of endorphins. Yea-yeah i know cliché.
