Elmar Dam

Elmar Dam is a freelance photographer from Delft. He tries to tell a story with his photos. A photo that will make the viewer think just a little longer.

He was born in 1976. Still, he prefers to go a little further back in time with his photos. He loves to create vintage, surreal and staged images. The model is central here. Yet the image is also partly determined by the environment he uses.

A shoot needs a lot of preparation and often takes place in the night hours. A dream, an object or thought triggers his fantasy and a storyline slowly emerges. It also remains difficult to find a unique location that suits his idea. And also to get an enthusiastic and suitable team together remains a challenge.
