Peter Bak photography Amsterdam Portrait, people & lifestyle photographers

Peter Bak is a Dutch-based reportage and portrait photographer who has been shooting for over two decades. He works mostly on portrait series but also loves to shoot for magazines.

Although he prefers natural light for these projects he is also very comfortable with flash photography and is not afraid of a dramatically lit editorial shoot. Peter spends his free time travelling and working on his personal documantery projects.

For Peter, it is all about people. He prefers to work in a documentary style, enabling him to get closer to a person. Photography is a way to access these moments, to travel, to meet; "Without these moments they are just pictures," he says.

He works with a wide range of clients, from travel magazines to corporate portraits including Nautique, Rails, Playboy, Elle, Carp, HP de tijd, NRC and M-magazine.
