The photography podcast

30 Minuten Sluitertijd

Together with my friend Niels de Kemp I came to the conclusion that our conversations about photography might well be interesting to other people. The medium: a podcast. Since March 2024 you can listen on Spotify and watch on YouTube.

Thirty easy-going minutes listening to two photography enthusiasts talking about every subject you can think of. New every Monday.

Watch our podcast on YouTube or listen every week on Spotify

Why a photography podcast?

Niels and I can genuinely talk for hours about photography in its broadest sense. Yes, we are both great fans of street photography, but that interest is not limited to the street. I also shoot portraits and events, and Niels is a media maker through and through, among others for the Rotterdam police. My favourite photographers are Vincent Peters and Stephan Vanfleteren, certainly not street photographers.

So do follow along.

We hope to give you something to think about every week.

Creative inspiration: 30 Minuten Sluitertijd covers a range of subjects and every episode includes a shout-out to another photographer. The podcast is meant for beginners and experienced photographers alike, and we hope for a little cross-pollination in the comments.
Practical tips: we talk about everything. About photography in general, camera settings, gear acquisition syndrome and a great deal more.
Community building: it would be good if the podcast could make the Dutch photography landscape a little more open. That is the atmosphere we want to set. Send us a DM on Instagram or comment under the videos if you have something to say, or something to say about what we say.
News and trends: appearing weekly on Monday lets us respond quickly to what is happening, as we did with the release of the Fujifilm X100VI.
Stories and experience: photography is not only about the technical side; it is about stories and emotions too. And we have plenty of those.

In short, we are fairly certain that an enjoyable, easy-going podcast about photography is a worthwhile addition to the photography community.
