Columns and Other Musings
I have decided to post the photography columns I have written over the past few years—and those I will write in the future—on this website as well: website .
Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of writing for the fantastic magazine Focus Magazine. Over the course of two years, from 2023 to 2024, I wrote a dozen columns that were published in the magazine and have since been posted online as well.
In addition to the content from my book * Straatfotobijbel*, I have also been publishing columns since early 2025 on Photofacts’ website , a comprehensive platform for both beginner and advanced photographers.
