Ruud – After 3 decades of hesitation, I started the Photography School in 2021. Successfully completed with an 8.5 with a series of XR on the A12 where I captured the social cohesion within XR.
Inspired by Vincent Mentzel (70’s), Joris van Gennip and Klaas Jan van de Weij (20’s).
For news, events or sports in club, association or individual context I am available. For contact see the footnote on each page.

About Sports, People and Society
Sport – plays a vital role in maintaining physical health and mental well-being. It fosters discipline, teamwork, and personal growth offering a unique lens into human character. Capture the emotional intensity, focus, and spirit of competition that make sport a compelling subject.

People – As integral parts of nature, humans are also its most influential agents. Our lives are defined by connection. We depend on each other like meaning growth and ultimately survival. Through my photography I document human relationships in all their complexity. Capturing moments recognised by joy, struggle, intimacy, and resilience.

Society – is the stage on which we live. Looking for interactions, and evolve. It reflects our values, conflicts, and aspirations. My work seeks to portray society as it is — unfiltered and authentic — highlighting the everyday realities that define our collective experience.
