au revoir

Early morning for them, last day for me at the summer camp.

I've got great shots of kids. Sleepy, happy, tired, tough.
I'm now working on a photo story, soon available for publishing.

Today was the survival day at the summer camp and the kids could not give up.

before the lights are off

I was at the summer camp last night and caught the kids on their way to the bathroom, right before the lights got off.

I was at kleine fabriek to report about the event for Small magazine.
More picts and news coming soon on smaller.

caught

They were hiding behind the fence to surprise some girls with water when their trainer came.

kick off

First day of hockey summer camp.
I went there today to see how the camp was set up and get the feel of it.
I'll be there again to shoot their sleepy faces on an early morning and a late evening.

the kids of Olympiaplein

I spend so much time these days with my son at the skate spot of Olympiaplein, that I might work on a photo series on those kids pretty soon.

If you're interested in an editorial series, please contact me.

In front of a swimming pool.
I decided to shoot kids just when they came out of the swimming pool, to capture their state of mind/look at this precise moment.
I called this series 'wet hair'.
(more shots will follow).

contradiction

trained to perfection

I first met these girls in Vondelpark on Queen's Day.
Impressed by their performance, I went to their club to meet their trainers and discuss the idea of developing a picture story on these young girls. Hopefully, I'll get the consent of their parents.
