ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The inspiration for my portraits comes from the Baroque painting combined with contemporary aspects. I especially like the scarce lighting that was so beautifully used by the painters from the Golden Age, such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. With my photos I want to tell a special story that tells about a unity or similarity between child and animal. This creates an almost surreal Baroque atmosphere.
Beautiful girl Nian and the horse Lies where both dreaming with their eyes closed.

AUTHOR
My photography is a kind of storytelling. My photos do not only capture what you see but also capture what you would like to see. I like to make photos that originate from an idea or theme that lingers in your mind. I continuously challenge myself with self-invented themes. I like to work on series, such as the series of pet stories and my series of still lifes. Because fine art photography is like photographic painting, I am often inspired by the paintings of the old masters from the 17th century, such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. Like them, I love the special lighting, the light-dark contrast and the accompanying textures that arise.
