Fatigue to flame
After 5 years of exploring the professional side of photography, I seem to be lost in the saturated sea of techniques, gear,
and the always present realisation that the world does not need an extra photographer.
Parrallel to my main job, I seem to have been distracted by sales, pitches and incomes,
whereas the true passion lies in research, building single images to a series, connecting with people.
I’ve never done a workshop, nor any other form of photography education.
In the search of meaning, I stepped away from social media. Comparison is the thief.
Target
A series of 10 images , loosely based on Oeuvres by Edouard Levé.
2 images show a dull object, that becomes interesting when reading the caption
_A leather jacket made from a mad cow
_ A deer stuffed with hunting apparel from the hunter that shot him )
2 images show the Gent/Vinderhoute region in a Mark Mahaney way - shot on tripod, eventually using flash with gels to create an otherworldly atmosphere
2 images are portraits. ( An architect surviving in the shed of a pub, just a stones throw away from another pub that is truly succesfull, that he once designed in his golden days -
or a series of portrait where I ask the persons to keep the eyes open as long as possible without blinking. Long exposure. )
2 images show absurd objects that get shaped by the caption
_An pencil case stuffed with broken pens without ink. Kept by a man who uses it for things he cannot express.
_54. Modern Ruins - Colour photographs show modern places and objects that have b ecome dilapitated without ever being used.
