Eelco Wortman Tutor - Leica Akademie Netherlands

Eelco Wortman

Eelco Wortman is a self-taught and award-winning freelance documentary- and streetphotographer from the Netherlands. Influenced by traditional street- and film photography, he loves to work with (natural) light, color, shape and contrast. Occasionally a landscape photograph, sometimes a bit of abstraction, his main subject and fascination will always be people in their natural habitat. Eelco gets intrigued by the human condition and daily situations, often overlooked by most of us. His candid photographs have a strong focus on storytelling and detail, mostly to be found in an urban environment. From 2015 on, Eelco quickly taught himself how to compose his photographs using street photography as his canvas, resulting in his signature as it is today. Blending various styles, creating authentic and emotive narratives in one single frame, he commissioned for some of the world’s leading brands from early on. Eelco engages in personal projects as well and works as a photojournalist for different media.
