Interview with Bas Losekoot: “I photograph the isolated, uncanny and even alienated people because I feel amazingly close to them.”
We are happy to have Bas Losekoot, Dutch artist and photographer, on board for this interview. Losekoot lives and works in Amsterdam, but travels around the world to photograph the streets of megacities like New York, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Lagos for his project Out of Place. As he is researching human behaviour in public space, we discuss the issue of personal space, the choreography of people in an urban environment, the position of the photographer and Losekoot’s own state of mind when he photographs others.
Interview with David Gibson: “My photography has grown up a little… I hope.”
Our next interview is with David Gibson, photographer based in Kent in the UK and author of several books on (street) photography, such as the ‘The Street Photographer’s Manual’ and ‘100 Great Street Photographs’. Gibson is also a member of the UP Photographers collective (formerly iN-PUBLiC). We talk about his evolution as a photographer, the difference between writing about and taking photographs, the influence of social media and more.

We discuss the commonalities in their work, their approach to teaching as a duo, the pitfalls of balancing street with personal relationships, and the importance of festivals.
Umberto Verdoliva and ‘The Ongoing Moment’: Same Things Seen by Different Eyes
In photography, and a lot of other art forms, we often encounter the ‘déjà vu’ feeling. Italian photographer Umberto Verdoliva plays with this concept by combining his images with similar photographs, often from well-known photographers from the past, but also by his contemporaries. Verdoliva did not know these images when he was making his own, and by placing them side by side, he demonstrates how much we inspire and influence each other, and how the same things can be seen by different eyes, in different times.
