My Images don’t need to be Beautiful; they Need to Tell Stories! Stories on Humanity, Stories on Places & Locations, on Human Activity! I am Documentary Photographer, Visual Storyteller & PhotoJournalist Guido Koppes. Primarily based in the Netherlands, I craft Portraits, Photo Reports & Documentary Photography for Publication in various Media. I work Autonomous for Agencies, NGO’s, Governments, Fellow Entrepreneurs and various other, Professional Images Users. My Visual Content is seen in Newspapers & Magazines, on Websites and in Books. Besides Publishing of both Analog & Digital Photography, I occasionally produce Photographic Art. I have a background in Corporate Communications (Nima ICC-B) and studied Documentary & Portrait Photography at PhotoAcademy Rotterdam (2010 – 2012).
My Thematic Approaches are Visual Stories on Human Interest Issues, Migration, Climate Change, Industry, Travel, People & Raw, Urban Environments, besides creating Photographic Art based in these Approaches. Curious to what you can’t find here? Please contact me for a brief studiotour.
