Kadir van Lohuizen's and Yuri Kozyrev's work about the arctic is exhibited at Gallery Vriend van Bavink from April 23rd until July 10th. The double expedition project focuses on the consequences of the melting sea ice for the planet, and the medium-term prospect of its total disappearance.
The 2021 Nikon-NOOR masterclasses are finished. Participants from around the world worked together with NOOR authors Andrea Bruce, Pep Bonet, Heba Khamis, Jon Lowenstein, Sanne De Wilde, Kadir van Lohuizen, Olga Kravets and Tanya Habjouqa to share experiences, work on portfolios, improve editing skills, and learn how to create visual stories.
Andrea Bruce / NOOR
Andrea Bruce went on assignment for iPondr. She captured Brant Ireland, who broke his leg severely in 2013 while on an operation in Afghanistan. His leg got amputated in 2015 and since then he is using a high-tech prosthetic limb. Ireland saw adaptive sports as a chance to get out of his comfort zone and try new things.
