Curation and coordination photography project Het Beelddepot

1 September 2022

/ Categories: Het Beelddepot / Photography training and consultancy


An extensive image research project, ‘Het Beelddepot’ (Image Depot, in English) found that the imagery used in Dutch media when reporting on homelessness is stigmatising, biased and unrealistic. A new image bank, to be used by Dutch news papers, broadcast companies and other news platforms, offers a more realistic, neutral and constructive visual approach of the issue of homelessness.


A small group of young, talented photographer and experienced photo journalists developed new photo stories. I coordinated the collaboration and curate the collection. And did photo consultancy for media, partners and stakeholders.


‘Het Beelddepot’ is a journalistic initiative to find and fight stigmas around the issue of homelessness.

During a visual language and photography workshop for the Dutch Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment we trained policy makers, government staff, social welfare workers and others about the power of the image, semiotics and visual language on the subject of homelessness.


In an extensive image research project, we found that the imagery used in media when reporting on homelessness is stigmatising, biased and unrealistic. In the workshops we shared the findings, made the audience aware of the power of visual representation and shared tools to achieve a more realistic, neutral and constructive visual approach of the issue of homelessness.


The workshops are conducted by members of ‘Het Beelddepot’, a journalistic initiative to find and fight stigmas around the issue of homelessness.
