Lets meet in 2024!
Good News: We're thrilled to announce the organization of two Urban Photography Races (UPR) in 2024. The first race is scheduled in Utrecht on Saturday, May 25th, and the second one on October 19th in Eindhoven. Additionally, we're excited to collaborate with Dutch Street Magazine, and Dennis Sewberath Misser, to bring these events to life. Why participate in the UPR?
Meet Other Photographers: The Urban Photography Race (UPR) offers a unique opportunity to connect with fellow photography enthusiasts who share a passion for street and urban photography. Whether before the race, at checkpoints, or after the event, there’s ample time to engage in conversations, relax, and exchange insights with peers.
Explore the City: The Urban Photography Race (UPR) provides an exciting chance to discover the city in a way you've never experienced before. As you navigate through the streets, guided towards various checkpoints, you'll uncover hidden gems and view the city from fresh, new perspectives.
Challenge Yourself: Throughout the Urban Photography Race, photographers are presented with thematic challenges designed to push their creative boundaries and hone their skills. This dynamic approach not only enhances your photographic abilities but also allows for your work to be evaluated by a panel of professional judges.

FOKKO MULLER
“I am a Dutch photographer and educator with a specialization in street photography. I like being on the streets, seeing the interaction between people and hearing the fragments of their conversations. In my street photos I enjoy showing people in their daily environment. I like you to take a closer look and wonder what is happening. Sometimes I want to make you smile. With my workshops, lectures and online video courses I try to inspire other photographers to start their journey with street photography too. I am an official OM SYSTEM Ambassador.”

SIMONE PEERDERMAN
Looking, feeling, clicking. Through my lens, I strive to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, capturing reflective moments across nature, objects, and people, isolating them in contemplation to create order and connection in an overwhelming world, where my curiosity leads to exploring unknown worlds. Most of the time I value the question over the answer. Check the website of Simone Peerdeman for the workshops and mentorships!
