Sensique Veil of Surreal

A few weeks ago we had snow, which does not happen often where I live. I had this idea of creating a still life in the snow, despite the cold that caused pain in my hands I had a lot of fun. More from this serie can be viewed on my personal (Dutch) blog.

Sensual images always catch my eye; everywhere around me, I see sensuality. It is a pleasant feeling, it makes my life more enjoyable, provides small stimulating moments throughout the day, and it gives me confirmation regarding my own sensuality. And I just love to go out and try to capture these hidden treasures with my camera.

Little secrets, exploring sensual stil life photography

The Fries Museum exhibition refuses the caricature. It shows the schoolgirl in Friesland, the battered wife in Malang, the ageing courtesan still dancing in 1916 when her knees hurt. And it reminds us that the femme fatale is rarely born; she is made, one calculated risk at a time. Margareth Zelle did not die for treason. She died because a frightened nation needed a witch, and she had spent twenty years teaching the world exactly how seductive a witch could be.
