Portrait

A portrait of philosopher Henk Manschot. Henk Manschot is professor of Philosophy and Ethics at the University of Humanistic Studies in Utrecht.

Henk will be publishiing a new book later this year and asked me to take some portraits of him for the publication. During our photo-session this is one of the images I came up with. Most probably not the one to be used, but we both liked it very much....

 

Portrait

A cool portrait I took yesterday.

During a photography course in the south of France I will be giving starting May 11 next, one of the things I will be explaining is how you can get a shot like this...

There are still 3 places available for the course.

De Kom

This week sees the publication of the new brochure of Theater De Kom for the next theatre-season.

People who know my work will probably recognize the cover. I did a remake of my selfportrait for the brochure with Hamza Gaderi.

I am happy to say that in the brochure are three more photographs I took.

Thank you theater De Kom, and especially Elise, for the opportunity and the lovely collaboration we have.

Paolo

A portrait I took on-the-go during a photoshoot session with Paolo Yao Kouadio and Martina Orlandi yesterday.

Paolo is a professional dancer, currently dancing with the De Stilte dancegroup. Paolo and Martina asked me if I would take some pictures for their dance-portfolio. We had an inspiring photoshoot in an old warehouse in Rotterdam. I will post a few of the results soon.

Art

I have not been posting much lately, but that doesn't mean I have not been busy. Actually, busy is the word at the moment. There have been a lot of photography-projects and assignments going on recently and some exciting stuff coming up.

For one I am preparing a photography course in the south of France in May. There is still room for four participants if anyone is interested. Check out the website www.chez-castillon.com and this link for more information.

I am also working on organizing photography workshops this year for a small group of photographers. The first on the list is with smoke, fireworks and a model and the second will be with professional (ballet) dancers. All in/around Utrecht.

And there is more.

Today Art paid me a visit. Art does a lot of (fashion)model work and he wanted me to do some out-of-the-box photography with him. This is one of the results. The pose and lighting is inspired by a beautiful painting I saw a few months ago.
