After 10 years of photography,

I am now studying linguistics at the University of Amsterdam, aiming to specialise in computational, data-driven sociolinguistics. This academic challenge will be my focus for the coming years, leading me to put my creative work on hold for the time being.

My creative portfolio will be kept up-to-date on my Instagram account, @bastiaansizoo. Send me a message if you’re interested in ordering a print of any of my photographs.

The next challenge in your life can seem imposing The next challenge in your life can seem imposing and intimidating, but I always try to think of how small it will seem a year from now. It's important to realize that our milestones once looked like impenetrable walls to us, but that we got through them. And we'll get through the next one too. ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ #travelphotography #traveling #travelgram #traveldeeper #traveltheworld #traveltoexplore #travelinggram #travelpassport #instameetulaanbaatar #igtraveller #vscomongolia
It's hard to realize sometimes what is going on ou It's hard to realize sometimes what is going on outside the little circle that is your life. Wars are fought, astronauts fly over our heads, galaxies are colliding. And somewhere on the cold barren plains of Mongolia, sits a warm little yurt. Laughter, songs, and the faint smell of vodka escape through the chimney, only to disappear into the starry night. ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ ⠀ ⁠ #travelphotography #traveling #travelgram #traveldeeper #traveltheworld #traveltoexplore #travelinggram #travelpassport #instameetulaanbaatar #igtraveller #vscomongolia

I got about 100 photos lined up and ready to post, so expect to see daily uploads again. Also! I am gonna be selling prints soon, all profits will go to a charity that I will announce later.
