ABOUT

Tommy Metten is an independent photographer based in Amsterdam.

Photography is his way of expressing feelings and exploring subjects that interest him. In many of his works, he uses Amsterdam as his canvas, finding inspiration during city walks or searching for subjects that fit a specific concept.

He also enjoys working from his home studio, where he uses everyday items to create visual compositions. Experimenting with different materials and crafting scenes brings him great joy and reflects his fascination with the creative possibilities of being human.

His favorite way of working is a combination of conceptual and incidental photography. This balance gives him a sense of freedom and allows him to work without restrictions, continually fueling his creativity.

Whether he communicates a message directly or leaves it open to interpretation is ultimately up to the viewer.
