He started in journalism at Frame (design magazine) in Amsterdam, where he authored articles on architecture and design.^[1]^[11] In 2008, he published one of the first interviews with the designer and researcher Neri Oxman, who at the time established the field of 'materiology'.^[12] He was a contributing editor for Mark magazine, covering contemporary architecture, from 2009 to 2017. From 2009 to 2021, Bezold collaborated with architect Wiel Arets, editing and co-authoring several significant publications on architectural photography and philosophy, designed by Edwin van Gelder, Mevis & Van Deursen, and Irma Boom.^[13]^[14]^[15]

In 2016, Bezold was a research fellow at the Mauritshuis in The Hague, receiving a grant to analyze the museum's painting acquisitions.^[16]^[17] He is specialized in the work of Dutch painter Frans Hals.^[18]^[19]^[20]^[21]^[22] In the late-2010s, he authored a column on museum curation trends in the journal Museumvisie, published by the Dutch Museum Association.^[23]^[24]

From 2019 to 2024, he served on the editorial board of Oud Holland, the world's oldest art historical scholarly journal, focusing on Dutch Golden Age painting and Flemish painting, as a review editor. He modernized the journal by establishing its online presence.^[25]

Bezold’s editorial work has been characterized by Rein Wolfs, director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, as being, “Strong and sensitive. Rough yet controlled. And completely convincing.”^[26]
