Bas Losekoot was born in Amsterdam in 1979. He has a background in graphic design, photography and cinema. In 2001 he received his bachelor degree in photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. Nowadays he is working as a portrait and documentary photographer developing long-term personal projects that mostly end up as photo-essays. In his early days he gained defined skills in studio lightning. The last decade he is focusing on pure street photography. Recently he found a way to combine these two disciplines in a unique way of story telling.
