Joost Weddepohl Photography

I live near Haarlem with a house full of girls (my girlfriend and two stepdaughters). I’ve met my girlfriend on a wedding…and no she wasn’t the bride ;) I love family life!! After years of fiddling with analog camera’s, in 2006 I decided to buy my first digital camera. Since than, photography is a part of my life. My passion for photography originates from my youth. As a family, we spend lot’s of time in nature. My brother, from a young age, travelled each year to exotic places on the planet and came back with spectacular photo’s that backed up his crazy adventurous stories. It didn’t take long before I also started travelling accompanied by a camera. Several jobs, studies, travels and adventures later I landed in Amsterdam. I found out that I love working with people instead of spending 8 hours a day behind a desk. The next 10 years I worked full time as a social worker assisting children (and parents) in growing better in and outside school. In this work you really learn to “look” at people. I use this in photography. A few years back I switched to full time photography.
