Work

After his study at the Photo Academy Amsterdam Jeroen Swolfs became a freelance photojournalist. While he
was traveling to all corners of the world, he started to focus on political and social issues, which resulted in series
about returned Serbian refugees and several series about the Roma minorities in Eastern Europe.

Swolfs has done assignments for among others:

De Volkskrant (one of the leading daily Dutch newspapers)
Volkskrant Magazine
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Rabobank Foundation
Amsterdam Weekly
The X pat Journal

Swolfs is currently working on his project Streets of the World. In May 2011 his first book about his
adventures in Asia was published by National Geographic. In June 2011 twenty of his street photos were exhibited in the city centre of The Hague. 
Swolfs has given lectures in Rotterdam and Frankfurt and is a blogger for Huffington Post. 

Photo books, exhibitions, limited editions and other products will be available at a later stage of the project.
