My books
As a street photographer and author I have published several books over the past few years that look at the different sides of street photography. From the technical and creative side to the legal considerations, each book offers its own insight and practical knowledge for beginners and experienced photographers alike.
My work is aimed at making street photography accessible as an art form and at sharing years of experience in the field. Whether you are interested in the philosophy behind observing, the legal framework you work within, or practical techniques to take your photography further, there is a book for every side of it.
The Observer
My exploration of the art of observing and capturing daily life on the street. This book digs into the broader thinking behind street photography and teaches you to look at the world around you with new eyes.
Through its images, The Observer takes you into the mental side of street photography: developing your photographic eye, anticipating moments, thinking about your own role on the street, and creating meaningful images that tell stories about city life.
De Wet van de Straat
The legal and ethical side of street photography in the Netherlands and beyond. This book makes clear what you can and cannot do when photographing in public space.
With practical examples and clear explanations of portrait rights, copyright and privacy law, lawyer Charlotte Meindersma of Charlotte’s Law and I help photographers navigate the legal complexity. Essential for any serious street photographer who wants to publish or exhibit their work.

The complete guide for anyone who wants to master street photography. From camera settings to composition and from the use of light to post-production, every side of it is covered.

My street photography books
Street photography is a fascinating discipline that combines technical skill, legal knowledge and a sharp eye. Through my experience in the field and teaching photographers, I noticed there was a need for accessible sources covering every side of the craft.
Each of these books stands on its own, but together they form a complete curriculum for street photographers. Whether you are just starting out or have been at it for years, there is always something new to learn about composition, timing, legal ground or the philosophy behind the medium.
The combination of practical manuals and deeper reflection makes this collection unusual. All of them are based on my own practice and written to help photographers find their own voice within the genre.
Besides books I sell fine art prints: limited runs, in three sizes and with or without a box frame.
