BredaPhoto 2014

BredaPhoto is an international festival for contemporary photography that has taken place every two years since 2003. The 2012 festival attracted around 50.000 visitors and 2014’s theme was “Songs from the Heart”, as explained on the festival’s official website:

With this theme, BredaPhoto 2014 dives into 21st-century Romanticism. We focus on romantic ideals like authenticity, sincerity and uniqueness which have been around for over two centuries, but which are still very much alive today.

I’ve been to several of their editions and have always been impressed by the quality of photography. I very much appreciate how most of the festival is freely accessible to the public, something I fully support. BredaPhoto is one of those events that makes me proud to call Breda my hometown! I can easily spend over an hour just walking around and getting to know new photographers; they always produce a diverse collection.

This year, Stéphanie Roland‘s “Ideal City” series was probably my favourite. Already looking forward to visiting BredaPhoto 2016!
