Photographic diary (January)
As promised at the end of every month I will share a few photographs taken the month. This week’s selection contains two portraits, a self-portrait, Landscapes, and some still life’s taken in my Atelier and a behind-the-scenes of a commercial shoot.
All the landscapes were taken in Drenthe, Love seems to bring me here a lot lately. While walking with my love past these landscapes my camera dangles off my shoulder. The air is cold and crisp and a big part of the days in January are gloomy and foggy. The floor beneath us is wet and our shoes are dirty every time I come home I have to brush off the landscape again.
Yet this weather inspires me like no other, perhaps it is the soft light or that this weather is the closest I can get to seeing the world in black and white. There is something about the landscapes of Drenthe there is a lot of nothing. In this nothingness, my mind can wander. In between the trees, I find comfort.
This month I bought a new camera, One I wanted for A long time. A digital Medium format camera. The first thing I did was to take a self-portrait with my favourite camera.
A self-portrait as the master painters would paint in the 1600s with their tools in hand, a symbol to show the outside world where they were affiliated with.
