You could say that I am an person
who was raised with photography. My father, who was a professional
photographer for over 25 years, and also won the trophy for: "Best student
of the year" ad the Famous photographer schools, New York, has been a
great motivation for me to start photography myself and is still someone who
gives me good advise now and then when I get stuck in some sort of
technique.
In 1985 I bought my very fist Canon
AE1, with which I started making photos of my former girlfriend (also my
dancing partner for 3 years). Offcourse, these photos had to been shown to
friends in the dancing school. One thing let to another and soon I had a
long, long waiting list of models, all wanting to pose.
Body Art
To me, body-art is like playing
with the body, light and shadow.
However, I found out, that this
kind of photography is taking a lot of time. Before I have exactly what I
want, you are minutes busy modeling the model and the lights.
The fun-thing is, that you cannot
see who the model is. This is also the greatest point where body-art
distinguishes itself from "ordinary" photography in which the model is the
central of focus.
In Body-art the model is a tool
for playing with the light and creating shadows.
