Recognised as one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, Ed van der Elsken's classic book 'Love On The Left Bank' is still in print over sixty years after it was first published, and although he died in 1990 his work has become increasingly popular with regular exhibitions on a worldwide basis. Ed himself travelled extensively, making contact with people across the world with his camera. His quirky, extrovert character is mirrored in his extraordinary photography, and his energy and zest for living live on through his work and continue to touch people.

Ed van der Elsken (1925, Amsterdam - 1990, Edam, The Netherlands), 'enfant terrible' of Dutch photography, was a photographer and filmmaker who expressed his meetings with people in photos, photo books and films for more than 40 years. He started to photograph at the end of the 1940s. In the 1950s he left Holland for Paris. There he encountered the bohemian society of Saint-Germain-de-Pr駸. Marked by the bitter post-war atmosphere these young people spent their days in bars, living on alcohol and drugs. At the suggestion of Edward Steichen, whom van der Elsken met in Paris, he turned his photographs into a photographic novel. 'Love on the Left Bank' instantly made him world famous.
