Erwin Olaf (1959-2023) is considered one of the leading Dutch photographers of his generation. His visual language is immediately distinguishable: perfectly balanced, technically masterful and imbued with layered meanings. With his precise sense of light and staging, he managed to combine beauty with social urgency.
Olaf was not only a creator, but also an advocate. He stood up for the right to express oneself freely. He did this not only with his photo camera, but also through films, installations, sculptures and through the cultural events he brought to life.
The coffee table book 'Erwin Olaf: Freedom (NL)' is the ultimate tribute to one of Holland's most pioneering artistic figures.
