Making a Photo Book in 15 Steps
I’ve recently published my first photo book called Chasing Amsterdam, a collection of street photos that I took for a Dutch newspaper’s weekly ‘City Life’ column between 2020 and 2021. As I’ve learned much from this process I’d like to share my experience in 15 steps.
From Street Photography to Street Paintings, New Work by Ilya Shtutsa
You might know Russian photographer Ilya Shtutsa for his playful street photographs mostly from Saint Petersburg, with layered compositions and humour. A while ago he started to post paintings on Facebook and they immediately intrigued me.

In these times, when we spend much more time at home, deliberately or not, we often have more time to revisit our existing work and sometimes even to reinvent it. Some photographers start to edit series, combine old and new work. Others recreate their images by using collage or mix photography with another art form like painting. Spanish photographer Antonio García reacts to the current view of many cities by erasing all humans and animals from his images. The result is an eerie look into the old and the possibly new world.
Street Photography on Assignment
Until 2019 I was doing street photography in my free time as my personal work. Every now and then I sold a print or participated in an exhibition, but I was never really on a deadline. That changed in the beginning of 2020, when I took on a weekly street photography section in Dutch newspaper Het Parool.
