Whether travelling through less visited remote areas, popular tourist destinations or just a short journey from home, I’m drawn to the still moments and perfect compositions when shape, colour, light and a feeling come together to create that image, hopefully a little bit different than we usually see the world, and to show the aesthetic of the less appreciated of the world we live in.
After working full-time as a Graphic Designer in London, I moved to Rotterdam (NL) in 2016 where I nowadays work as an artist, photographer, graphic designer and bike messenger. I love being outdoors and active and most ideas and images arise on the go between A and B. If you're interested in working with me please get in touch: +31 639753925 or mail@willylamers.nl.
This is me – at times when showers are something not to care about.
