Skaters by Manon de Koning

Rotterdam city centre also offers plenty of streets and squares that are favourite spots for skaters. Here, you can see skaters in action as they perform stunts on the urban architecture. Skaters add a vibrant and dynamic energy to the city, and their creative approach to the environment inspires others to join the skate culture.

The skateboard itself is an iconic symbol of freedom and self-expression, and Rotterdam embraces this form of self-expression. The city has skate shops and parks that provide skaters with the latest gear and the right environment to practise and improve.

All in all, Rotterdam is a city that welcomes and celebrates the passion of skaters. Whether you are an experienced skater or just interested in watching this exciting sport, Rotterdam offers a vibrant skate culture worth exploring in the city centre.

As a professional photographer, my mission is to show the world that photography is more than just capturing an image.

Whether capturing stunning architecture, the vibrancy of an event or a personality, my goal is to capture the essence of the subject and leave a lasting impression.

From my knowledge and also certainly from my experience in the dance world, I am guided by intuition, curiosity and movement
In every photo shoot, I strive for a unique perspective and a creative collaboration between myself and the subject.
I immerse myself in the other world, understand the personality and bring out the best qualities as images.

It is not just about the technical aspects of lighting and composition, but about capturing a moment that is authentic and real.
I believe photography has the power to evoke emotions and give meaning to a story.
Therefore, I strive to create images that are both beautiful and meaningful.
Images that tell a story and evoke a sense of emotion.
For me, photography is a passion.
Technology helps me create a unique experience that results in beautiful images that tell a story.
I love capturing the beautiful world around us.
