In the state our home, the world, planet earth, is in at the moment, it is a mesmerizing experience to stand outside in the dark on a snow covered field above the arctic circle and gaze up at the powerful show of northern lights. It seems as if the world is on fire without making a sound. The aurora borealis as I saw it in Tromsø, Norway.
A result from a nude photoshoot this week with a female model. The multiple arms can be seen as a symbol of prudishness, but also as a symbol strength, warmth and love/acceptance of oneself.

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.

O.O.O.
I made a cinemagraph for a theatrical production titled O.O.O. by the HKU in Utrecht (University of Performing Arts).
A portrait I took of Ariane Kop, managing director of Theater De Kom in Nieuwegein.
We did a photoshoot outside on a roofterrace of the theatre, just before it started to rain.
One of the many portraits I shot this past week.
One of the results of a pre-wedding photoshoot I did.
Floryne and Siebrand said 'yes'.
Thanks to Wim Blom, who was my assistant for the occassion.
A corporate headshot I took yesterday on the top floor of a building in Amsterdam.
The next result of an "out-of-the-blue" photoshoot last Friday in Utrecht. See my previous posts here.
One of the ideas I had for the shoot on the yellow Chesterfield was for my model to be drinking some wine. This massive bottle (1,5 liter) was kindly sponsored by my good friend Jaap at WijnvanJaap.
I did the photoshoot in the office of www.pathe-thuis.nl, where I was kindly permitted use the space and the yellow Chesterfield.
Here is another result.

About two weeks ago I was cycling through my home town of Utrecht, when my eye caught sight of this amazing yellow Chesterfield couch standing in an office. I immediately got off my bike and went inside to ask if I might do a photoshoot with a model on the Chesterfield. The people at the company (www.pathe-thuis.nl) were very welcoming and friendly. After some explanation of my intentions the owner gave me permission to do the shoot.
Next I needed a model and immediately thought of Bente; we had been talking of doing a photoshoot together for a long time already and this seemed to be the right time to do it.
My good friend Wim Blom was so kind to be assistant to the shoot.
Here is one of the first results.

I am always keen to work on new ideas and concepts.
This is an idea I have been brooding on for a time and here is a first experiment. It is not quite there yet where I want it but I think it is already quite presentable.
Let's call it temporary tattooing or virtual bodypainting. This is not achieved by photoshop but the real thing! And no, it is not a tattoo. Things you can do with a light source....
Thank you to my model Michiel van Ieperen, who actually came along for a Mad Max-inspired photoshoot, but we started off on a whim trying out this idea.
One of a new series of still lifes. One of the many pictures available in print. Contact me at jos@jkimages.nl
One of a new series of still life photographs.
Just add some cloves.
I am working on a new series of still lifes....
There are so many cool things you can do with a flash, a sheet of reflective material and almost any prop....
A new year is upon us. I hope you all had good year and have now started on an even better one!
For me 2015 was an amazing year! Thanks to all those who supported me, who helped along or participated in my photoshoots. And, of course, thanks to all my clients for trusting in me.
I have many plans for the new year and hope to further develop my skills and photography-style.
I have been so busy since my last post on this blog that I haven't had time to show you some of my new work.
This is a portrait I took of model and actor Michiel van Ieperen.
A portrait I shot of my friend Alex; I took this picture of him in my livingroom in daylight using one flash.
