A Stocked Fridge: The Rotterdam Portrait Photography Book

Welcome to “A Stocked Fridge,” an ongoing street photography and portrait project based in Rotterdam. I am excited to announce the launch of this book, which aims to capture the diverse faces and voices of the city Rotterdam.

The Vision: Street Photography with a Purpose

I started this project with a simple goal: to capture different people on the streets of Rotterdam, from the center to the quiet neighborhoods. But this isn’t just about images; it is also about a conversation. I ask every participant a single, reflective question: “If you could change one thing in the city or in general, what would it be?”

Why “A Stocked Fridge”?

The title of this Rotterdam photography book, “A Stocked Fridge”, comes from the idea about judgment. We tend to judge people in the world without looking at their situation in life, their resources, and their hidden struggles. Through this portrait series, I hope to peel back those layers and show the humanity behind the strangers we pass every day.

Project Details & Timeline

This is a limited-time documentary photography series.

  • Start Date: October 1st, 2025

Call for Participants

Are you a local resident with a story to tell? I am currently looking for diverse subjects to include in this photography book. Whether you are a local artist, a business owner, or simply someone who loves this city, your voice matters.

If you have any questions about the project, or would like to participate in an upcoming portrait session, please contact me.
