Longread with some of my work, in Mediahuis’s op-ed ‘Alle Tijd’. Words by Bengt de Sitter

“Since the start of the Russian invasion in 2022, the Dutch Foundation Protect Ukraine has been driving humanitarian aid convoys to Ukraine. For the first time, a convoy with only young adults is going east.”

Ik fotografeerde Roksana voor een stuk van Margriet Oostveen over de docuserie ‘Kinderen van Rutte’ voor @decorrespondent.nl

“Waarom moest Mark Rutte uitgerekend aan migrantenkinderen uitleggen wat hard werken is?”

I absolutely love that you reply to people directly. Thank you. Yes, all of them either the same height (or width in case of landscape pictures). Or just like on instagram: the first selected picture defines the ratio, the ones selected after that will adapt to that one

Hopefully you’ll fix the cropping bug soon! Would love to upload a series of images on Flashes without them turning into squares. I think this would really help to attract more visual artists

I love this! I’m making a starter pack with people in the photography industry with this quality of work that intend to post/share (more) on Bluesky/Flashes, in an attempt to attract more photo people to the platform. Do you have any recommendations?

Zoo mooi. Irritant wel dat Flashes het cropt tot vierkantjes in Posts met meerdere beelden 😩 Hopelijk wordt dat snel gefixt.

Weet jij toevallig hoe je in je timeline in Flashes alleen accounts krijgt die je volgt? Of mis ik iets?

Still figuring it out as well 🥲 I understand the fact that Bluesky is ‘algorithm neutral’ but I really just want to see the people I follow in my timeline on Flashes and now it’s chaos. I’m sure there is (or will be) a way
