Thijs Broekkamp is a journalist and photographer from the Netherlands.

His stories focus on humanitarian issues, dismantling negative stereotypes, as well as conflict, its aftermath, and its long-term impact on global relations. With his work, he hope to inspire people to recognise parts of themselves in unfamiliar worlds and to relate to the characters of people who at first may seem completely different from them.

His work on the Yezidi's of Iraq was awarded a 'Tegel' in 2022, the annual Dutch price for exceptional journalism.
