About

My name is Maartje Punt (b. 1989) and I’m a Dutch documentary photographer and art director – AKA creative control freak. I got my first camera as a gift at age twelve and haven’t gone without one ever since. Incredibly fortunate to be able to photograph the world, I intend to do so. I’m also co author of the book ‘Behandeling van OCD’.
