Martijn Gijsbertsen (1973) graduated from the Photo Academy and this Amsterdam-based photographer has since made portrait series his trademark.
Gijsbertsen's work has been published in national newspapers such as Trouw, Het Parool, and NRC Handelsblad, as well as in business publications like Quote Magazine. He has also worked for clients like VU Amsterdam, Achmea Insurance, the Amsterdam University Medical Centre, and a wide range of commercial clients, PR firms, and advertising agencies. He has received three European Newspaper Awards and is represented by the photo agency ANP/Hollandse Hoogte.
In addition to editorial and commercial assignments, he works on autonomous, sometimes long-term projects and has specialised in the blueprint technique, which dates back to 1842. He uses this technique to print thematic series, recognisable by their distinct Prussian blue hues.
