My name is Willem Klopper. In daily life I'm a primary school teacher in Zaandam, Holland. In my spare time I take photos and listen to music. I try to combine those two things by photographing concerts.
I also do photographing of landscapes, weddings, people, macro, etc, but I'm specialising in concertphotography.

I'm one of the photographers of "Waerdse Tempel" in Heerhugowaard. There are many concerts there.

A number of bands and artists have used my photos for their cd/dvd-covers or for use on their website.
