About the artwork

The SS Rotterdam, a former cruise ship of the Holland-America Line, is permanently moored in the Katendrecht district of the port of Rotterdam. This iconic ship symbolises the city's maritime history.
The area around Katendrecht, once a rough port area, is now a hip and cultural hotspot.

Black-and-white photography beautifully captures the atmosphere of the port, the industrial character and heritage of the SS Rotterdam. The emphasis is on contrasts, lines and structures that underline the area's robust charm.

From the Euromast, Rotterdam's famous watchtower, you have an impressive view of the city, the port, the river Maas, Katendrecht and the SS Rotterdam - an ideal place to capture the cohesion of these Rotterdam icons, both in colour and in atmospheric black-and-white images.

Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port cities are often bustling centres of trade and industry, with ships, trucks and trains moving in and out to load and unload goods. This offers photographers the opportunity to capture beautiful images of large ships docked at the quayside, crane machines loading and unloading containers from and onto the ships, and workers busy at work. Port photography can be challenging as there is often a lot of movement and activity and the light is constantly changing
