About Robbert
Robbert So Kiem Hwat is a Dutch photographer and filmmaker, based in Rotterdam, NL.
'I occasionally make documentary film on fascinating people, their dreams and crafts.'
When working on his documentary 'Taste of the soul' (Offician selection Dutch Film Festival 2010: a film on two cooks and a taster) Robbert began his ongoing research on capturing the emotion of taste.
Food photography has since become his passion and speciality.
