Eduard van der Elsken (10 March 1925 – 28 December 1990) was a Dutch photographer and filmmaker.His imagery provides quotidian, intimate and autobiographic perspectives on the European zeitgeist spanning the period of the Second World War into the nineteen-seventies in the realms of love, sex, art, music (particularly jazz), and alternative culture.
He described his camera as 'infatuated', and said: "I'm not a journalist, an objective reporter, I'm a man with likes and dislikes".
His style is subjective and emphases the seer over the seen; a photographic equivalent of first-person speech.
