Current project(s)

My field of interest is the history of photojournalism, and especially the production, distribution and reception of photojournalism and press photography in the 20the century. I am also interested in the visual archive as an 'ecosystem'. Currently, I am preparing an international symposium on these topics, which will be held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, end of June, early July 2021.
