About the Studio

Welcome to the Erwin Olaf Studio — a unique creative space in the heart of Amsterdam, available for rent.

This is the former working studio of world-renowned photographer Erwin Olaf, a visionary who championed diversity, inclusion, and artistic excellence throughout his career. In his spirit, we are proud to offer this space not as a commercial rental venue, but as a creative hub that embraces individuality, collaboration, and experimentation.

The studio is ideal for photoshoots, meetings, presentations, and creative sessions. With high ceilings, beautiful natural light, and professional facilities, it offers a quiet yet inspiring environment for makers and thinkers alike.

The studio is curated and managed by Gijs van de Veerdonk, a former intern of Erwin Olaf, in close collaboration with the Erwin Olaf Foundation. Together, we aim to preserve the atmosphere of authenticity and artistry that defined Olaf’s work — while opening the doors to a new generation of image-makers.
