About the Ebook
Meet and Greet.
His most recent publication Meet and Greet is an impressive hardcover retrospective covering the years 1995 to 2012. As the title suggests, the photographs offer a slice of life beyond the public persona. Among those featured you’ll find an older and pensive Debbie Harry caught at sundown, Maxi Jazz in abattoir ambiance, the menacing looks of a Massive Attack whose outright hostility is almost palpable. You’ll also find British rapper Dizzee Rascal under whose tough demeanour Mees found someone ‘quite amiable’ or a no less colourful personality: the late Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands whom Mees photographed at his residential palace.

While still attending the Royal Academy of Art, his phone started ringing with offers of work. Magazines were keen to pick up this talented dude from The Hague. Since then Michel Mees has snapped his shutter in front of hundreds of dj’s & musicians, including Armin van Buuren, Alice Cooper and Tiësto. For a good portrait he travels as far as Uzbekistan.
