We ask Maarten the important stuff
2025, March
1. What’s your favourite Amsterdam neighbourhood to shoot? 
The center, around the Museumplein, Dam Square and Central Station. No shortage of activity here.

2. Which secret spot would you recommend (now not secret anymore)? 
In the morning IJboulevard, behind the Central Station. In the afternoon one of the tunnels around CS. 

3. What’s your most memorable streetphotography experience from the past year?

Photos that will never make it to State of Amsterdam zines :) I went to Sarajevo last year for a week to take photos. Intriguing place with a lot of history, wonderful to walk around there for a week and just take photos.

4. Which type of images are you currently shooting? 
Still street photography, although I sometimes get the comment that I stretch the definition quite a bit.

5. Which (street)photographer inspires you? 
Maarten is featured in the 2nd edition of State of Amsterdam
