I regularly receive assignments through the Dutch government's photographer pool. However, I cannot show many of those photos. The agreement is that only the Dutch government is allowed to use the images. I can, however, ask for permission to use a number of photos for my own promotion. In this case, I am allowed to do so.
This time, I was allowed to photograph an activation for the Tax and Customs Administration in the center of Zaandam. With an assignment like this, you never know exactly what to expect beforehand. Tax and Customs Administration, activation, Zaandam… it is still the Tax and Customs Administration, after all.
Once on location, it turned out to be a national campaign with which the Tax and Customs Administration encourages people to receive less paper mail and handle more matters digitally.
It was a fun assignment, with enthusiastic people who were happy to stand in front of my camera.
