When They Sleep

When They Sleep is a visual exploration of Amsterdam in its most silent hours, when the city exhales, and the usual rhythm of movement gives way to stillness.

 

Captured in the deep night and early dawn, this photo series reveals a side of Amsterdam rarely seen: peaceful, mystical, and almost suspended in time.

​

Wandering through empty streets, over quiet canals, and beneath glowing streetlights, the camera becomes a quiet observer. The absence of people invites presence, the city, stripped of its daily noise, seems to dream. Architecture becomes sculpture, reflections blur reality, and every shadow holds a whisper.

​

The hidden poetry of urban spaces after dark. It invites the viewer to slow down and rediscover Amsterdam not as a bustling capital, but as a place of quiet wonder.
