august 2022, Rotterdam.While many tourists make their panoramas from the bridge, I look at it from a different perspective. Viewed from the bottom up, you have the silhouette of a sailing ship, made possible by a combination of architecture and street photography.

AUTHOR
Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Bert Verstrepen, I was born on april 16th, 1977 in Dendermonde, Belgium.

During travels with my parents, I made my first images of cities and landscapes.

At the early age of 9 I became fascinated by photography, back then I quickly realized that it would become my greatest passion.

A beautiful world opened up for me, so I taught myself the required skills to make images of how I see the world through a lens.

In 1997 I bought my first Canon SLR camera, In 2014 I entered the digital age. From then on my creativity flourished.

Over the years I have developed my own style and got specialized in low-light and portrait photography.

While I was working on location there were passersby who were curious about what I was doing.

I was told that my works should be on display in art galleries, so that everyone could see them, because it would be wrong just to leave them on a computer or in a photo album.

In September 2017 I made an attempt at the Saatchi Art Gallery in London. 12 Hours later I was informed that my work 'The Thames Barrier' would be displayed there within 24 hours.
