About Yoerie Custers

My first attempt at photography dates back to 2009, when I was a student in Interior Design. In that period, I bought my first DSLR camera. It all started with landscape photography; sunsets and beautiful Dutch winter landscapes.
After a while, old buildings aroused my interest. Exploring forbidden spaces and somehow, traveling through their history: that was everything I was interested in as a little boy. Back than, I could not appreciate the beauty of decay, but now I capture it through photography. An abandoned farm with all its furniture still there or a factory that shut down, where time has stood still, but you can still feel the vibes in the air. Crumbling ceilings, the ivy finding its way in every crack of the wall. Being in those forgotten places, sometimes feels like living in a fairy tale. I wanted to show people that there’s more beside contemporary architecture, like the abandoned and forgotten buildings that nobody cares about anymore.
