Get in Touch

Greetings and salutations, dear visitor!

My name is Ronald van Middendorp, I am a Lisbon-based Dutch independent photographer. I have been photographing/documenting the Lisbon music scene since 2011. My concert portfolio ranges from well-known Portuguese bands like Dead Combo, Bizarra Locomotiva and Secret Lie to international stars like Ali Campbell, Boney M, Bonnie Tyler and Alphaville, to name a few.

Besides publications in Arte Sonora, Arte Fotografica International, I am pleased that several bands have used my material for promotional purposes. In 2015, I also got commissioned to design Tó Pica´s first solo album Is This The Best You Can Do?!

For me, shooting a band over a period of time, following their development, moments of joy, stress, anger, mishaps and intense love, is like finding a way to blend into everybody’s movements, focused on special moments, a nice naturally occurring frame, emotions, details, the bigger picture. The more I am able to become a nearly invisible part of whatever is going on, the more chances I will have to get a really nice shot that goes beyond `just documenting´ and will make the subject – you – shine.

If you think my approach – which is not constrained to the music scene – could work for you, feel free to fill out the form below to get in touch.
