My photography is about portraying subcultures in Amsterdam. I'am trying to find authentic people with their lifestyle. Often I play with thoughts of stereotypes and try to mix them up. Hard characters I want to photograph in a more vulnerable way and more soft characters I try to make them more though or hard.
Amsterdam is a small city but rich of many cultures. 60 percent don't have Dutch roots or are mixed up with Dutch blood. I am trying to make a visual essay of the status of Amsterdam people in 2016 or 2017. Outside Amsterdam there are less mixed cultures and less understanding for cultures other then Dutch. I think the status of Amsterdam people are the new level of Dutch identity.
