I was waiting outside a restaurant in Amsterdam last August when I bumped into the talented photographer Yamandu Roos (whom I did not know at that point) and he asked me if he could take a few pictures of me some time. Five months, several failed appointments and a few hair colours later we finally got around to doing it. Yamandu has just finished his 7 year (!) project called ‘Europeans’, where he travelled around Europe and took a lot of pictures of people and places. This time he took his pictures a little closer to home, or actually, literally at his home. It’s kind of funny being photographed by someone who has also had the likes of Ronaldinho, Pharrell Williams and -one of my favourite artists- Yoshitomo Nara in front of his camera. I could ramble on about what he does and has done since it’s quite a lot, but maybe it’s better if you just check his website. For now I’m leaving you with my pictures, which I think are really nice and simple.
