Eindhoven

Eindhoven is the city I know best, and the one I can’t stop photographing. These photos cover its skyline and streets from ground level and from above: the Regent and Admirant towers at blue hour, the slim Vestedatoren in golden mist, the Philips Lichttoren above a rain-soaked 18 Septemberplein, and the former Philips factory district of Strijp-S, where the Klokgebouw and the Trudo Toren stand out against a dusk sky.

Along the way you’ll find the Eindhovens Kanaal, the twin spires of Sint-Catharinakerk, Stratumseind at night and the Van Gogh cycle path glowing in the dark. I shoot mostly at golden and blue hour, when the city’s glass, brick and light look their best.
