Rein Kooyman (06-03-1992) is a photographer based in Amsterdam.
At the age of 14 he started working on his photography career. Rein Kooyman’s work is spread across an array of creative landscapes, he finds inspiration through different cultures, fashion and nature. This stems from his childhood, growing up in the picturesque Santpoort-Noord, surrounded by cinematic scenery and the vastness of the dunes and the North Sea. At his young age he strived to meet the demands by spending every second on his passion and work. A love of natural light, travel and global outlooks are but some of his motivations whilst developing his career. Rein Kooyman's work is characterised by the appearance of austerity. A subtle form of gloom that magically forces you to stand still. The combination between commercial work and personal work gives him the perfect space to develop his love and passion, photography.
