Dutch lawyer-turned-lensman Richard Koek (1965) has a thing with New York City, and captures his ongoing fascination for its urban landscape and the eclectic lifestyles of its dwellers in compelling photographs. Following the presentation of his new book New York New York in the Big Apple, Koek lands an eponymous show at Eduard Planting gallery in Amsterdam. The show opens Sat – May 5 and presents a series of new photographs that emanate his love of New York City’s urban landscape and the eclectic lifestyles of its dwellers. The series demonstrate Koek’s sensibility to the city, and each picture offers viewers a compelling and unique narrative. Koek lives in New York City and Amsterdam, and works for various publications, companies and non-profit organisations.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
