About Sander Dekker
Sander Dekker's photography has a recognisable style, due to his spontaneous and playful working method. Working without a preconceived concept, the outcome of his shoots is always unexpected. His subjects are never his friends, but people he finds on social media (who often become friends). He chooses creatives he admires: outgoing, spontaneous and a little eccentric - qualities he says he lacks himself. Sander travels to his subject and spends around an hour with them, capturing the high energy of that first encounter.
