Sander Schilthuizen

Netherlands • 1963

Biography

Sander Schilthuizen (1963) started working as a photographer in his early twenties, always using black&white film. Developing and printing the photo's with his own equipment, in a make-shift darkroom in his college dorm. In 2008 he took the leap to digital photography, bought a professional camera and started to focus on images with colour.

His latest work can be best described as photographic storytelling. Manipulating shapes and values, Sander provides a narrative. An imaginary story behind a snippet of time.

Sander Schilthuizen enjoys roaming the streets with his camera while observing people and situations. Photographing tourists, people attending fairs and markets, and other impressions that catch his artistic eye.

"I attain to create photographs that never bore the human eye. Catch details that are hard to define, yet continue to entice the viewer."

Sander lives and works in IJmuiden (Netherlands).
