WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

My name is Marieke van der Velden and I’m a photographer based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. For 27 years I have enjoyed working on assignment for all kinds of magazines, newspapers, ngo's, foundations and advertising agencies. In this I have had the privilege of traveling abroad more than 50 times to capture the stories of many different people around the world.

Once started as a storyteller in search of thé (read: my) truth I have slowly evolved in a way where I try

to capture stories from the perspective of the people it affects, without dividing the world in ‘good or bad, yes or no, black or white’. This has led to several self-initiated projects (see above). Most of the projects have been published in leading international media, and five projects won an award at the Dutch ‘Zilveren Camera’.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. And if you want to see my schedule or attend a lecture, take a look at my blog.
