Martijn van de Griendt

Martijn van de Griendt (1970) is a documentary photographer. Since the 1990s he has been fascinated by the Western society he lives in, especially youth culture. His style is characterized by crisp, bright colours, but his photos also have a raw element and a 'close to the skin' feel.

His new book SMOKIN' BOYS SMOKIN' GIRLS will be his third book containing a selection of his earlier work

Martijn van de Griendt also published 
HASSAN & HOESSEIN, a hard-hitting report on the lifes of a set of Moroccan-Dutch twins, seen through a sympathetic lens (Mets & Schilt 2005).
