Tot op het Bot

From 2019 to 2022, photographer Rob Poortvliet was granted exclusive access to the Marine Corps training program, where he captured their physical and mental trials. His images show the intensive training, uncertainty, and unbreakable perseverance of the recruits up to their swearing-in. This unique series provides a rare insight into the world of the Marines, an elite force preparing for the toughest operations on land and sea. In addition to the photo exhibition, visitors can also go on a mission themselves and experience what it means to be a Marine.
