Joseph Ford shortlisted for the Sony World Photography Awards
Proud of Josep Ford, our photographer and director, to be shortlisted for the 2020 Sony World Photography Awards. His Invisible Jumpers series has been chosen for the Professional Creative category from over 135,000 images submitted this year. The work will be shown at Somerset House, London, from 17 April - 4th May 2020.
Paperboy
Joseph Ford wanted to explore the challenges of teen life. Paperboy is a metaphor for difference: how do you fit in when you’re made of card? He can’t keep up with his friends at basketball and he’s scared to go in the water. When he eventually tries paddling in the sea his shoe falls apart. His crew look out for him though, repairing his foot and helping him do cardboard graffiti in huge low-poly lettering…

Reflecting
Gedurende de maand mei toont de Vishal werk van Ellen Kooi en Alice Brasser. Beide kunstenaars hebben een grote affiniteit met het landschap, zij het vanuit verschillende invalshoeken en disciplines. Het landschap toont zich in velden, bossen en waterpoelen met mensen of sporen van hun aanwezigheid. Dit alles in gloedvolle kleuren en lichtval.
De tentoonstelling behelst een dialoog tussen de panoramische fotowerken van Kooi en de monumentale schilderijen van Brasser. Ellen Kooi toont natuur en mensen als een ondefinieerbaar mysterie. Met handelingen die op die plek een betekenis aan de omgeving geven en een vaag gevoel van onrust oproepen. Alice Brasser laat landschap vlammen in ongekende kleuren. Ook hier is de mens protagonist, maar meer thuis, beschouwer en bewoner. De confrontatie tussen deze twee oeuvres neemt de kijker mee door imaginaire landschappen waarbij de seizoenen elkaar afwisselen, gebeurtenissen plaatsvinden die herkenbaar zijn en toch vragen oproepen. Door de verschillende vertrekpunten, fotografie en schilderkunst, nodigt de tentoonstelling uit tot vergelijken, parallellen versus verschillen.
Kooi en Brasser:
“Plaats of plekken. Wellicht zijn dit de sleutelwoorden die ons werk verbinden. Plaatsen in de natuur, in een landschap, in een stad of de rafelranden daarvan. Over onze verbondenheid daarmee en de betekenis ervan. Beiden verwijzen we naar verhalen, herinneringen, sprookjes en mythen. Het streven om die in de alledaagse omgeving te situeren, is iets wat we in elkaars werk herkennen.”
De Vishal, Grote Markt 20, 2011 RD Haarlem

“Solitude” by Erik Chmil!
The photographer Erik Chmil is famous for his photos of vehicles in atmospheric locations. In his latest series, “Solitude,” he plays with the curious fact that his usual model is not on view, through photographs taken in abandoned carparks. Chmil traveled the world in search of emotive parking lots and photographed them at the precise moment when no car was actually parked there, often a feat of patience. The result is much more than simply shots of empty parking spaces under different lighting conditions; these fascinating snapshots show silence, loneliness, and longing, bearing witness to the secret histories of these spaces. Featuring contemplative and arresting photographic works of art, this volume also takes viewers on a fascinating photographic journey to spectacular places throughout the world. You can order a copy for only €43,95 excluding shipping costs. Send us an email to order!

NEW TALENT! #5 Making you hungry for more with foodstylist Ingmar Niezen
We are sure Ingmar will make a great impression coming holidays. She knows how to prepare great food and how make it look delicious on camera as well. Ingmar began her career as a photographer. Later as a culinary student at the Cordon Bleu School in Johannesburg South Africa, she started experimenting with food and photography. After training with several food stylists, she made a career switch to food styling. Recipe development, a self-taught skill, came later. Ingmar’s creativity and improvisational skills, give a feel of refreshing nonchalance to her work. “ If you’re a food stylist – you always create ways to hold the impossible together with toothpicks, rubber bands and sticky tape.” Her appreciation of client needs and extensive knowledge and love of good food, make her easy to work with. Ingmar works on assignments for magazines, adverts and food packaging, commercials and feature films.
Expertise
Ingmar has worked on a large array of food assigment covering various areas of expertise- drinks, coffee, working with ice cream, pastries and baking- for both moving and still images. Her aim is to create food that is looks truly delicious and visually appealing; with a degree of honesty that creates a natural believable image quality.
NEW TALENT! #4 The imaginary world of Niels Hoebers
Niels Hoebers is a one of a kind artist. As a re-animator of inanimatable objects, Niels Hoebers tells stories, visualizes concepts and romanticizes processes.
Niels is creating imaginary worlds through stop motion animation. He is always on the lookout for stimulating collaborations with companies or other artists and for motivated Interns with great minds and gifted hands, who like to discover the world around stop motion animation. Have look at his other stunning films right here.
NEW TALENT! #3 Adrian T. Kubica
Introducing photographer and director Adrian T. Kubica. Adrian was born in Detroit, Michigan and now calls Germany his home. Adrian enjoys the raw reality of everyday life, the fleeting beauty of those in-between moments and takes every shot keeping that in mind. He wants his viewers to relate to his photographs through recognition, familiarity, emotions and the energy so much, that they wonder if they are looking at a picture of someone they know.
HAVE A MAGICAL CHRISTMAS AND THE BEST 2017 YOU CAN IMAGINE!

Styling Judith Rasenberg for the Rijksrestaurant at Rijksmuseum.
The opening of the Rijksrestaurant was for the editors of Volkskrant Magazine a good reason to stylize the dishes prepared by chef cook Joris Bijdendijk in a typical setting for the Rijksmuseum. Rein Janssen photographed these dishes in the tradition of 17th-century still lifes and the styling has been taken very good care of by Judith Rasenberg. You can have a look at the published article right here.

‘De maatschappij, niets voor mij’
Onlangs publiceerde Lege Fles het werk dat ze de laatste weken maakten over stadsnomaden in “de Correspondent”. Op een grasveldje in Amsterdam, naast de snelweg A5, wonen sinds drie jaar stadsnomaden in caravans, tenten en zelfgebouwde hutten. Sommigen uit noodzaak, anderen uit vrije wil. Maar de gemeente wil het veld gebruiken als akkerbouwgrond en eist in een rechtszaak dat de nomaden vertrekken. Een verslag in woord en beeld.

Chantal Spieard naar Kenia voor “Female Cancer Foundation”
Chantal Spieard zal na haar indrukwekkende reis naar Bangladesh, Prof. dr. Lex Peters deze maand wederom vergezellen naar Kenia voor "Female Cancer Foundation".
In de Derde Wereld is baarmoederhalskanker na borstkanker de meest voorkomende kankersoort bij vrouwen en zelfs doodsoorzaak nummer één.Veel jonge moeders en vrouwen overlijden nog steeds onnodig aan deze aandoening. Kinderen blijven achter zonder moeder, waarmee tevens de dragende kracht van de economie is verdwenen.
De Female Cancer Foundation (FCF) probeert de kennis en ervaring die is opgedaan in het Westen uit te dragen naar de Derde Wereld via methoden van screenen en behandelingen die ontwikkeld zijn en zeer kosten effectief zijn. Volgens het "train-the-trainer" principe worden hulpverleners, zoals verloskundigen, verpleegkundigen en artsen, opgeleid om het programma uit te voeren en het aan collega's te onderwijzen.
Voor meer informatie over FCF ga naar de website http://www.femalecancerfoundation.org
De publicatie van het boek over FCF en de oprichter hiervan Prof. dr. Lex Peters, staat gepland op 8 maart 2013 Wereld Vrouwendag.

Exhibition from Niels Stomps 83 Days Of Darkness in Budapest
83 Days of Darkness on show in Budapest 17 June 2012
Every winter between 11 November and 2 February the sun fails to rise above the flanks of the Alps, leaving the North Italian village of Viganella completely in shadow. Situated in a narrow valley at the end of an 80-kilometer road it is subject to an exodus of its population. Only the center of the village is inhabited, merely by elderly people.
Residents of Viganella and the neighboring villages who face the same problem blame the lack of sunlight in winter. The mayor raised funds for a large computer-operated mirror, to be built 500 meters up the slope high above the village. For seven hours a day it reflects the sunlight to the central square of the village.
It is also found useful to defrost icy roads. And as a gift it illuminated the house of a lady celebrating her 90th birthday.
In the mountain regions old laws have always reigned relations between man and nature. Working the hardest rocks or climbing the highest heights.

Ellen Kooi in art top 100 in the Elsevier
Het opinieblad Elsevier publiceert deze week zijn jaarlijkse top-100 van Nederlandse kunstenaars, gebaaseerd op hun zichtbaarheid in binnen- en buitenland. Rineke Dijkstra staat net als vorig jaar op de tweede plaats, Erwin Olaf steeg van de negende naar de derde plaats.Bovenaan de lijst prijkt al zeven jaar - met een eenmalige onderbreking - Marlene Dumas, als enige onder de eerste tien met schilderkunst. Naast fotografie doen video en mixed media het goed. De top-100 is gebaseerd op activiteiten in zowel musea en kunstinstellingen als in de (particuliere) kunstmarkt, gewogen naar bekendheid en professionaliteit van locaties.
Anton Corbijn staat als derde fotograaf in de lijst, gestegen van 35 naar 15. Ruud van Empel ging ietsje achteruit, van 13 naar 18. Desire Dolron behoorde tot de snellere stijgers en is de vijfde fotograaf op de lijst: ze ging van 48 naar 24.
Opvallend is opkomst van documentair fotograaf pur sang Jan Banning, die van 47 naar 26 klom, vooral door het wereldwijde succes van zijn project Bureaucratics. Een treetje lager prijkt de naam van Viviane Sassen, die steeg van 51 naar 27.
Snelste stijger onder de fotografen is dit jaar Charlotte Dumas (wellicht ten overvloede: geen familie van de nr 1), met stip dus van 72 naar 31. En Rob Hornstra is de hoogst binnengekomen fotograaf: vanuit het niets op plaats 47.
Hellen van Meene blijkt stabiel: net als vorig jaar staat ze nu op 62. Ellen Kooi staat voor het eerst in de lijst, op 63. Nieuw zijn ook Jasper de Beijer (76), Iwan Baan (82), Henk Wildschut (84), Scarlett Hooft Graafland (94) en Marrigje de Maar (95).
En zoals het gaat met dit soort lijsten: er zijn ook dalers. Inez van Lamsweerde (van 34 naar 77), Paulien Oltheten (in de lijst genoemd met mixed media, van 68 naar 89) en Lidwien van de Ven (van 88 naar 98).
Tenslotte de afvallers, vorig jaar wel nog in de top-100 maar nu niet meer: Koos Breukel, Cuny Janssen, Frank van der Salm, Hendrik Kerstens, Margriet Smulders en Daniëlle Kwaaitaal.
Dat een hoge plek ook weer niet geheel rozengeur en manenschijn is, blijkt uit de toelichting van Elsevier-redactrice Riki SImons bij de hoogst genoteerde fotograaf: ‘Wel valt op dat in Dijkstra’s veilingresultaten in 2011 geen enkele weerslag viel te bekennen van de geplande Amerikaanse tournee - iets wat wél gebeurde jaren voor de recente Amerikaanse tournee van Marlene Dumas, die leidde tot een spectaculaire stijging van de prijzen van haar schilderijen. De hoogste verkooprijs voor een bekende Dijkstra-foto was vorig jaar 27.500 dollar, eenderde van wat die opbracht in de recordjaren 2005-2006.’
De top-100 van 2012 staat niet op internet. De uitgever heeft liever dat het papieren blad eerst goed wordt verkocht. Wel is de pdf van de editie van 2011 te downloaden.
