    Dutch-born photographer Gertjan Bartelsman has lived in Colombia since 1950. In the 1970s, he worked as a photographer in advertising and journalism before pursuing his own projects. Travelling around Colombia, Bartelsman photographed his subjects on buses and trains, in bars, cantinas and at work. The resulting images showcase his ability to capture intimate moments in urban life. Bartelsman has exhibited internationally, participating twice in the Venice Biennale.
