DEFIANTLY REAL

THE ARTISTS

Eelco Wortman
Eelco gets intrigued by the human condition and daily situations, often overlooked by most of us. His candid photographs have a strong focus on storytelling and detail, mostly to be found in an urban environment. Influenced by traditional street- and film photography, he loves to work with (natural) light, colour, shape and contrast.

Nanda Hagenaars
More than a silent observer, more than a person who simply captures moments, Nanda Hagenaars is a creator of worlds. With a camera in hand, she connects to her subjects and unravels what is at their core. Then, she lays it bare for all to see. In a striking confluence of form and line, the perfect contrast between light and shadow becomes apparent.

Thom Eisenga
Winner of the photography contest
Thom Eisenga is a traveler with an eye for the human soul. Often exploring the world on the two wheels of his bicycle, he turns quiet encounters along the road into intimate visual portraits. Through the timeless simplicity of black and white photography, Thom captures a rare connection with his subjects, leaving the viewer longing to know the untold stories behind every face, raw emotion, and shared moment.
