Portrait of Gothenburg — 2024

Hey there, my name is Dy.

First of all, thank you for stopping by! If you read this, that probably means that I've asked you to participe in my street photography project.

Actually, my name is Dyan. I'm a music and portrait photographer from the Netherlands. I'm doing this on a non-profit basis as a volunteer for bands, venues, cultural centers and foundations — 2 to 3 days per week — alongside being an entrepreneur in IT as my day job.

I'm in Gothenburg for a week, and I'm doing a project for which I ask locals to do a mini portrait session with me. My goal is to capture realness and authenticity, in a world that is dominated by social media façades, instagram filters and AI-generated content.

It's very likely your photo will be published on this page — in the week after I return. If the picture is to your liking, feel free to use it any way you desire. Chances are, I took more pictures than I published here; if you wish to receive those, please send me an e-mail, and I'll make sure you get them.

Thank you so much for being a participant in this project!
