Einar Been is originally a Dutch musician, singer songwriter and guitarplayer who released four CD's between 1992 and 2004, including the sound carrier 'Back to Rotterdam'. In addition to solo performances, he also played in several musicals. In 2010 he was stricken with an occupational disease called focal dystonia that would eventually make it impossible for him to play the guitar. After an operation and a long period of rehabilitation, he stopped with writing music and playing guitar.
In 2012 Been started making Photographs which resulted in 2013 in his first b/w exhibition entitled 'Seeing and building' (the one year lasting renovation of the Oudedijk and Vlietlaan in Rotterdam. Two important and busy streets). 'Stairportal and Portraits' was his second b/w exhibition in 2014.
In 2014 Einar started with conceptual photography.
