Emmy Schoorl is a Dutch freelance travel photographer and writer, she divides her time between Amsterdam, Shanghai and with travelling for her explorations and new projects. After a career in the corporate sector, she made the life-changing decision to dedicate her life to her three passions: photography, writing and travel.

Important themes in her work include portraits, ethnic minorities, the lives of monks, pilgrims & nomads, faith & symbolism, and daily life.
