I stumbled across this tiny café bar in Amsterdam with a friend and inside these three musicians were playing. We found a nearby table and I was captivated by their music. I hope our paths cross again

These following street portraits were all shot in the Dam just outside the royal palace of Amsterdam. My favourite is the guy on his phone as I was able to compose my shot and he didn't even notice me which put me at ease.

I enjoy experimenting with different styles but I also like to recreate a scene I've seen before

This following shot is probably my favourite as it was taken so quickly and I moved on to something else but whenever I look at it I always notice something new or I get lost in the moment. What were these people talking about? What are their hopes and dreams? What are they up to now?
