Els Tijssen
Netherlands



Biography: Actually, I just photographed when I was traveling and I still do. In 2013, I became president of the Dutch Association of Amateur Photographers (Fotobond), acquired a broader view of photography and followed some mentoring. After I resigned, there was more time to photograph. I'm interested in people, in their culture, their lives and in what moves them. Most of my images are a personal expression in which the viewer has the opportunity to project or recognize his own inner perception.
