Who am I?

 

My name is Marco Bontenbal, I was born and raised in The Netherlands and currently living in The Hague.

​

Since I remember, pictures have always intrigued me.I've always wondered about the story and history behind them.

​Looking at pictures was just not enough, i wanted to discovered the world through a lens and create some unique shots for myself.

​So I decided to take action and enrolled on a photography course and from that moment I just hadn't stop!

​

Why photography?

​

I love working with the combination of technology and my own creativity: playing with light and colors, choosing an angle that transmits a raw emotion and discovering yourself through a lens. It's amazing to see the world though a lens, and be able to show it. But above all, being able to take part and capture moments, shapes, people, landscapes that translate into stories that matter.

​

The beauty of photography is infinite; you can show your own point of view but you also capture those beautiful moments where real life happens. I always try to create a story with the picture, so that the picture makes us think how will the story end.

​

What do I photograph?

​

I am not limited to one genre of photography. At this moment I mainly do Urbex photography, but I am always looking for new adventures to expand my horizon. I always challenge myself to blend my style into any genre of photography.
