Douwe (Dex) is a professional senior graphic designer based in Sydney.
Born and raised in The Netherlands,he relocated downunder in 2003 and now calls Australia home.
Photography is a strong passion for Dex and he picked up his first camera at the age of 12. Over the years his hobby has evolved from taking family snaps with his grandfather’s camera, to creating black and white fine art in the digital age.In recent years his focus has been on mobile phone street photography.
Dex prefers to shoot in monochrome as he simply finds it easier to capture the essence of a scene in black and white: colour is just a distraction.
He won the black and white category in Australian Photography Magazine’s 2015
Photographer of the Year and has since become a judge for this well respected competition.
