Around Amsterdam

A Fresh Look at Amsterdam – through the lens of Timothy Luza

With Around Amsterdam, (street) photographer Timothy Luza presents an original photographic portrait of Amsterdam. After a year of intensive wandering through the city streets and capturing countless moments, he brings these intriguing images together in a compelling photo book.

For Luza, street photography is a balance between intention and intuition: the right moment and the right mood. His photographs reveal Amsterdam as it is rarely seen, through perspectives that elevate the everyday, avoid clichés, and reflect the city’s rich diversity. Well-known and hidden locations alike are thoughtfully composed, carefully sequenced, and visually connected, like scenes in a continuous narrative.

The book is an ode to a city full of history, character, and culture. Dedicated to Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary, it not only shows the city, but also invites the viewer to sense it anew.
