Kees Scherer - Street Photographer

Christoffel Johannes (Kees) Scherer (16 April 1920 - 19 January 1993) was a Dutch photographer who gained fame through his street photography and his contribution to Dutch photojournalism. Scherer was born on the Lijnbaansgracht in the Amsterdam Jordaan. After the liberation in 1945, Scherer started his career as a freelance photographer for newspapers and magazines. He made a name for himself with his 1953 reports on the flood disaster in 1953 and the Hungarian uprising in 1956. In 1955 he was one of the co-founders of World Press Photo. Scherer's photography is characterized by his honest and unvarnished portrayal of everyday life in the 1950s and 1960s.
