Hans Eijkelboom is a street photographer . He works in series and focuses his photographic interest on the clothes of the passers-by, which he photographs from chest height. For 25 years he has been touring cities around the world, including Amsterdam, New York, Paris and Shanghai. He is primarily dedicated to the fashionable styles and attributes of the oncoming people, which he exhibits sorted by categories - people in flannel shirts, fur coats or band shirts are grouped together in series. At first they suggest uniformity - and at second glance they then present individual details.
