Gustaaf Martinus Oosterling (30 June 1873 – 11 January 1928) was a Surinamese photographer, who had a photo studio on the Gonggrijpstraat in Paramaribo. Before turning to photography, Oosterling worked as a draughtsman, calligrapher and painter.[1][2] Together with Augusta Curiel, Karl Friedrich Ludwig Eugen Klein, Julius Eduard Muller, W. Amo and Théodore van Lelyveld, he is considered a pioneer of photography in Suriname.[3]
Gustaaf Martinus Oosterling was born on 30 June 1873 in Paramaribo to Salomon Jacob Oosterling (1841–1885) and Nanette Louisa Sophia Bosfaeld (1839–1878).[4][5][6] His grandfather Cornelis Oosterling (1813–1858) was originally from Groede in Zeeland and migrated to Suriname in the early 19th century.[7]
Oosterling died on 11 January 1928 at age 54.[8] His studio was continued by his son Guillaume David Oosterling.[9][10]
