Ed van der Elsken
Dutch photographer
Eduardvan der Elsken (10 March 1925 – 28 December 1990) was a Dutch photographer and filmmaker.
His imagery provides quotidian, intimate and autobiographic perspectives on the European zeitgeist[1] spanning the period of the Second World War into the 1970s in the realms of love, sex, art, music (particularly jazz), and alternative culture.
He described his camera as 'infatuated', and said: "I'm not a journalist, an objective reporter, I'm a man with likes and dislikes".[2] His style is subjective and emphases the seer over the seen; a photographic equivalent of first-person speech.[3]
