Job: Hunkemöller International BV
Director: Marijke de Gruyter
Styling: Ellen Hoste - Angelique Hoorn MNGMNT
Production service: Femke Groot
Creative agency XXS Amsterdam approached us to produce new TVC's for NPO directed by Chantal Spieard.
In this photography and film project we see and hear Poppy and her dreams and thoughts about life and love. The main story is a love letter she wrote to an ex boyfriend, where she talks about longing to be the perfect woman for him. With ‘bigger boobs and longer legs’, and at the same time she writes him that she is having doubts about marriage as the only and ultimate expression of her love life. Photographs of promising model buildings and parks are alternated with real parks and views from yet to be inhabited apartments.
A mixture of living and dreaming. The younger generation is not always willing to get married without having found real love first. They are willing the risk of living the life of a faded pearl. Find more of 'Wild Poppy' right here.

Dutch Design Week 2018 is calling out to all designers to register for #DDW18. A video by Niels Hoebers!
1 clip, 56 directors, "makkelijk voor ons". Director Tom Joye and set-designer/paper-artist extraordinaire had the honor to work with “De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig” on their official videoclip for “Makkelijk (voor ons)” from . (You will find their contribution from 00:14s till 00:18s)
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!
Make it a great 2018!

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.
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.
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.
Chantal Spieard's great work for the Female Cancer Foundation has been published in the quarterly newsletter of Triodos Bank. The Female Cancer Foundation strives to create a world free from cervical cancer, which can be achieved by offering care (screening and treatment) on location, offering education and research.

A donation is ofcourse much appreciated!

At first, they look like monoliths of ancient or futuristic cultures. They look like constructions that transcend time and even space. Set out in the open, where almost no other signs of civilisations are to be seen, the structures of abandoned bunkers from World War II remain.

National Geographic has published an article written by Christina Nunez, which contains a series of photographs featuring “7 Cool Ways Cities Are Thinking Ahead on Climate Change”. One of these stunning images is the one we are presenting to you today. The picture shows the ingenious way the Dutch city has come up with to fight climate change, through floating neighbourhoods. This solar-powered pavilion embodies a first step towards a similar but larger clean-energy powered area, and is used as an exhibition space to feature Rotterdam’s ambitious climate change plans for the future. The UNFCCC Climate Photo of this week was taken by Jonathan Andrew in Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

Prinses Máxima neemt op dinsdag 26 februari het boek "Een wereld zonder baarmoederhalskanker" in ontvangst, fotografie door Chantal Spieard. Klik hier voor het volledige artikel op de website van het Koninklijk Huis.
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.

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.

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.

83 Days of Darkness
Every winter between 11 November and 2 February the sun fails to rise above the slopes of the Alps leaving the North Italian village of Viganella completely in shadow during this period of the year. It is suffering from an exodus of its population. Therefore a large computer-operated mirror has been erected some 500 meters up the slope above the village just to reflect the sunlight onto the village for some seven hours a day.
In the mountain regions old laws have always reigned relations between man and nature. But now it is man that wants to prevail over it all. Working the hardest rocks or climbingthe highest heights.

Until the 11th of April Niels will be in Ny-Ålesund to work on the second last phase of the Svalbard project. In May this year the final visit will take place when he can photograph in the global Seeds Vault in Longyearbyen.
Further north than Niels originally thought was possible, there is a permanent settlement of 35 scientist and one cook who lives and work in Ny-Ålesund. These scientsit are from all over the world and conducting research and looking for something. To Niels they can be seen as modern day explores and there work will be the main subject of this project that he started in 2008.
