About Floor Hofman

The stories I tell can be small and personal or aiming to tackle a bigger, mostly social cultural subject. They can be told in different ways: Documentary film, photography, drawings or audio. I aim to shine a light on that which seems ordinary and is therefore overlooked.

I avoid remaining general. The complexity of the reality is meaningful and worth to try to understand. That’s why I isolate the intimate, unimaginable and unruly details out of the lives of the people I interview. I observe from a distance, but with a warm heart.
