Recently I made a brochure about Hate for the famous “P” assignment of the Fotoacademie. One chooses an abstract theme (Hate) to photograph and each week a literal thing is revealed that has to be present in the photograph of that week. I received positive reviews on the Hate brochure by peers and teachers and … Continue reading “Hate”

[safe] (1995)
June 16, 2016Last sunday I did a shoot inspired by the movie [safe] (1995), which I recently saw (twice) because it was listed as an inspiration by Gregory Crewdson and I had not seen it before. The movie is very well shot and indeed provides the sort of mood Gregory sets with his photographs but on a … Continue reading “[safe] (1995)”
Running through a forest
May 25, 2016Last friday I shot a photograph in my series Human males in contemporary society, inspired by the movie Under the skin (2013). Thanks Joep Cornelissen for running and big thanks to Martijn ter Schiphorst for assisting me! For some time I wanted to try the motion effect where the camera is riding on rails keeping … Continue reading “Running through a forest”
Planning shoots and my second sale
February 12, 2016The past few weeks I have been busy developing concepts and trying to arrange shoots (three specific ones, when shot they will appear on this blog of course). Both activities offer a lot of opportunities for me to get better at the entrepreneurial-side of being a photographer which is kind of exciting but they also … Continue reading “Planning shoots and my second sale”
Altijd is Kortjakje ziek
January 16, 2016Altijd is Kortjakje ziek (Kortjakje is always ill) is a Dutch children’s song about a little strumpet who goes to church every sunday carrying a big book full of her sins committed that week while she was “ill” (ie lying in bed horizontally). I was inspired by a previous photo of a woman walking towards … Continue reading “Altijd is Kortjakje ziek”
Secret garden
December 31, 2015The last day of the year and my traditional SWPA-post is still forthcoming, the series I want to enter lacks one photograph that I will probably shoot on the second of january. Meanwhile I have finished Secret garden as “free work” for the Fotoacademie. The short series is about dreams and expectations one has at … Continue reading “Secret garden”
The speed of time
November 8, 2015With these photographs I am trying to communicate a sense of relative speed of time to the viewer. Is the moment captured a long moment or a short one. Or maybe it has a different length for the different people in the photograph? I am still working on this but want to share these few … Continue reading “The speed of time”
Midlife decisions
August 12, 2015As some of you may know I changed some things a couple of months ago as I suddenly realized I would have to live with myself for another 40 years or so. Maybe I just should have bought a motorcycle and be done with it but I decided to forego the instant gratification and dig a little … Continue reading “Midlife decisions”

March 13, 2013Finally back at the Veluwe
February 8, 2012After a nine month absence I was back at the Veluwe last monday. It felt great to work on representing the forest in two dimensions once again, the weather was excellent: low winter sun and not very cold. In Foam I admired work by Joel Sternfeld. His most recent work consists of a couple of … Continue reading “Finally back at the Veluwe”
