Three activities that have played an important part in my life have come together in this website: photography, web design and my love for English (I'm not trying to be perky here, I chose to translate my website into English as most of my visitors are non-Dutch speaking).
Photography is what makes me tick. I noticed that my work is getting more and more abstract. Inspired by having visited more museums in the past five years than in my entire life? Most certainly. Changed because I am getting older? Definitely.
With techniques such as ICM and blur aided by post-processing I try to make images that are different and grab the attention. If they don't, I am truly sorry. But there's also plenty of tradional photography. Don't worry.
Was bought and restored by the Melchers family to create a home for Carel Willink's portraits. Functions as an extension to Museum MORE in Gorssel. This is a Pep Ventosa technique consisting of 21 shots taken from a semi-circle (officially a Pep Ventosa should be 360 degrees, but I hate to get my feet wet.)

(From my archive) Nice beach to go for a short walk after a healthy dish at the fish restaurant, and smell the water. There shouldn't be any dogs here unless on the leash, but nobody cares. Shutter speed 0,6 sec, F/45, 300 mm, ISO200, jittery movement moving to the right.

Mathilde de Doelder was married to painter Carel Willink who was 38 years older. She was Willink's muse and had an excentric character. Mathilde preferred to buy her dresses at Fong Leng's, designer of exceptional fashion. In the seventies, these dresses ranged from 5,000 to 15,000 euros. Mathilde bought 5 of them at the same time. The marriage went sour. She was said to have committed suicide. Mathilde was 39. Made for the challenge 'Portrait with a twist', 0,7 sec at F/10.

An immensely big building by Rem Koolhaas dominates De Kop van Zuid. By using ICM the three parts seem to have a different height, which is not the case, reason of which I used the image below to emphasise this effect. Exposure 1/30 F/22 @ 24 mm.

If you have reached this point, you're a real diehard ☺. The menu above leads you to more pages which all have the latest entries at the top.
Below you will find the most recent posts in my Instagram feed (that you can see without an account); clicking will show them in a new window (then you do need an account). To avoid a sloppy presentation in their three-to-a-row grid, I made them them all square. It does feel a bit like a harness. But sometimes I use the concept for a triptych.
Please leave a like or a comment there if an image appeals to you, as you can do using the link in the footer using the review form. I would really appreciate that!
