Robert van Koesveld gave up his career as a psychotherapist to become a full-time “travel and cultural photographer,” with particular interest in “the intersection of past and present”—as seen in his 2010 book Bhutan Heartland. His ‘Geiko and Maiko of Kyoto’ won the Canon–AIPP photo book of the year award in Australia in 2015. www.robertvankoesveld.com
