Arno Bosma was born in Amsterdam in 1965.
He started as a photographer at the age of seven when he sometimes secretively took his father's Agfa Clack camera to make imaginary images.
Photography got more serious in the years at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague where he graduated in 1994.
After a postgraduate study in digital image manipulation he relocated to Dubai in 1998.
During this period he improved his renowned skills as a digital operator in creative imaging services.
Combining the techniques of traditional photography with the latest computer technology he nowadays works from his studio in a former chewing gum factory in Amsterdam.
His work is rewarded on prestigious festivals around the world such as D&AD, Cannes Lions, EuroBest, Epica, ADCN and New York Festivals.
