These photographic self-portraits show great diversity. Yet there is one constant: the representation of the photographer, by the photographer himself. The image is shaped in the play of various photographic elements, such as light and shadow, timing, color and / or monochrome. This play raises the suggestion of character representation, an emotion, a personality. In the photos, the photographer is his own actor.

This book was made at the occasion of the exhibition at Gallery WM Amsterdam NL in February 2017:
