In 2008 Kramer decided he no longer wanted to work as a documentary photographer. This led to the publication of his book Room 103 in which he mixes ordinary life in the Middle east with images of violence. In his opinion his earlier work focused too much on violence and thereby created a distorted view of the world. With Room 103, he gives an intimate view of life in the Middle east. The book was awarded the top Dutch documentary award, The Dutch Doc award and the New York Photo festival book award.
