A maverick with a Sunday child’s charisma, Amsterdam-based Sander Dekker (b. 1980) is an unconventional photographer with a remarkable talent to capture magical moments.

Candy for the eye with an appealing aesthetic quality, Sander’s photography is defined by humour, positive energy, and infinite freedom. Using photography as a tool to capture moments created through interaction and synergy, his work can be considered a reflection of his own personality. The beholder is treated with a glimpse into the amazing life of this amiable photographer, and it’s an enjoyable experience. One shouldn’t look for any conceptual significance in his work, since there isn’t – unless that would be not to take life too seriously.

Together with a solo presentation and several national and international duo and group shows, Sander Dekker’s work has been represented at numerous art fairs in the Netherlands. In October 2015 he presented his large solo exhibition (My name is Sander Dekker); a show that treats the first episode of this promising photographer’s career.
