Inspirational Photographer of the Month:
Thomas picked Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf. From Erin Olaf’s biography: “Erwin Olaf is an internationally exhibiting artist whose diverse practice centers around society’s marginalized individuals, including women, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. In 2019 Olaf became a Knight of the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands after 500 works from his oeuvre were added to the collection of the Rijksmuseum. Taco Dibbits, Rijksmuseum director, called Olaf “one of the most important photographers of the final quarter of the 20th century”.” You can also find out more about Erwin Olaf’s amazing work by visiting his website: https://www.erwinolaf.com/art
