Peter Bak photography
Amsterdam - photographers
Peter Bak is a (mostly) Rotterdam-based portrait and travel photographer with more than 20 years' experience.
During his time in NYC he worked on 'documentary photo projects' and with several photographers, including Dana Lixenberg. Although he prefers natural light for his documentary projects, he is also very comfortable using flash photography for dramatically lit editorial portraits.
He enjoys taking photos for travel and lifestyle magazines and when not shooting professionally, Peter spends his free time travelling and working on his personal photo projects.
"It takes time to make a photo. I love working in a documentary style, as it enables me to really see people as they are."
He works with a wide range of clients, from lifestyle magazines to corporate portraits, including Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Credits Magazine, Thieme, LiFF, RetailTrend, Nautique, Rails, Dutch Playboy, Elle Magazine, Carp, HP de tijd and NRC M-magazine.
