Dutch photographer Ezra Böhm has been named Student Photographer of the Year for his series 'The Identity of Holland,' which documents the traditional communities that choose to wear historic European outfits.
revealed that Böhm's series, titled"The Identity of Holland," had earned him the title Student Photographer of the Year 2022. The annual competition, now in its 15th year, also named Australian Adam Ferguson as its Photographer of the Year, with other winners announced across the awards' Professional, Student and Youth categories.
"I started the series by emailing historical museums," Böhm said over email."After a while I came into contact with some people who are still wearing the costumes today. Once I had contact with them, things went quickly. There are only a few people who wear traditional clothing and they often know each other."It took Böhm over a year to research, visit and document these close-knit communities.
"Many people today have lost their cultural roots and can feel alienated in a society full of global citizens. By showing these communities to the world, I hope that people start to look at their own cultural roots again." Böhm, a student at the Nederlandse Academie voor Beeldcreatie in Eindhoven, will receive 30,000 euros' worth of Sony photography equipment for his school.
