Ad Nuis
Ad Nuis (b. 1958) graduated from the School for Photography in The Hague in 1985. He has been working as an independent photographer ever since. His photos regularly appear in newspapers and magazines, e.g. De Volkskrant, NRC, Parool, VPRO, Vrij Nederland, Communicatie and Management Scope. In addition Nuis works on long-term projects that usually result in a publication or artist book. In the 1990s he published Alweer een Dag, De Dam, Bomenboek, 65+, De Aftrap amongst others. Around the year 2000 he switched from black-and-white photography to digital colour photography. Recent projects include De Bovenste Verdieping, Nieuwe Amsterdammers, Koningshoef. Currently Nuis has a biweekly column in NRC Handelsblad, titled ‘Returning to the past for a moment’. In recent years Nuis has been writing more and more texts guiding his photography. This also went for his long term (former) collaboration with Vrij Nederland, ‘Nuis NL’ and its successor: Nuis.BE for De Standaard (BE).
Since 2015 Ad Nuis had exhibitions at the Beijing Photo Biennial, the Nederlands Fotomuseum (Rotterdam), ImageSingulieres (Sete, FR), MAST (Bologna, IT), Naarden Fotofestival, Noorderlicht (Groningen), Gdansk (PL).
