van Hoogstraten

I'm a physician but also an international award winning landscape photographer.
Yet model photography seems to be more and more important for me and I am thinking about the several ways to combine both categories.
Our world is turbulent, noisy and full of distraction. With my landscapes photography I try to provide places of silence. When all goes quiet, unusual things seem to happen and sometimes it even looks as if the scenery is trying to reveal a hidden mystery.
I'm also fascinated by the unseen beauty of many women. I love to show the delicate forms in a portrait, the gentle curves of a shoulder and the tender details of the skin. When I ask a model to be there, in front of my camera, in a studio or preferably still outdoor, in the landscape, it will always be with that brilliance in my mind. Nude, semi-nude or covered, my images will always be non-vulgar and respectful, being conscious all the time about the beauty and art of nature, including the human body.
