People 3rd place winner

In this series I photograph the last people wearing the traditional costumes of the Holland. This work is intended to celebrate and cherish the old culture of the Netherlands. These groups have something in common that we often miss in modern society: solidarity, geniality and collective pride.
modern citizens ofter are disconnected to their own roots, which I think is very important to form your identity with.
I romanticize a world that I want to be a part of. The people in the picture are my superheroes, they have to inspire people to look back at our origins and learn from the past

The images of the Dutch photographer are romanticized scenes in which individuals, cultures, stories or thoughts are elevated. At the same time, a critical note is taken at the acts of humanity and contemporary society. The images establish a symbolic relationship between form and content. The aesthetic beauty of the images creates a visual stimulus with an eye for composition, colour palette, interplay of lines and expressive eyes that invite you into the photographer’s created world.
