A survey on dutch landscape photography

I did some research in my bookmark and collected some photographers whose interest lies in the documentation of the dutch landscape. Here are some of them

Population growth, economic activity and lack of space all helped to shape the Dutch landscape. Photographers André-Pierre Lamoth and Jannes Linders were commissioned to capture these aspects under the title ‘The Dutch Landscape’.

Hans Aarsman, also known as a writer and for his job at the Rijksacademie Amsterdam. He did some nice large format photography, standing on the top of his RV with a tripod and his camera. In my opinion one of the best ways to photograph the typical flat and wide landscape of the Netherlands.

Frank van der Salm works with largeformat photography and his relationship to painting is quite obvious. Especially his new still lifes, which almost reminded me of some Jeff Koons collages…I appreciate the older work though.

Gerco de Ruijter examined the dutch landscape with a self made kite for his camera. The process is quite accidentially, because there is no viewfinder or anything. What a nice way to let the wind do some work And there’s lots of wind in this country.

Wout Berger did beside his landscape photographs also a lot of close up photography of landscapes. I also posted one of his photos earlier.

Bas Princen is actually at the same gallery as Wout Berger. There are some other photos on the website. I can’t remember where I found this one. It’s one of my favourites from his dutch landscapes..

And I also came across some photographers like Marnix Goossens for the first time. These two shown photos are not that retro-like as some of his work on his website.

After Hans van der Meer started his project about the landscape of lower league football fields in the Netherlands, he started to do the same with more places around europe. Reminded me of my childhood in a small village

Jan Kosters‘ interest lies in the natural dutch landscape (or what you actually call nature in the netherlands). He documented the whole coastline with his project “dutchscapes”
