Foam with The Girls

Last wednesday evening we joined Penny and Celia to the opening the exhibition of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin at Foam. The exhibition is called Pretty much Everything, a title well chosen. Because the museum is filled top to bottom with what seems like all the images this creative photography couple ever made. I especially like almost their over-the-top and coulourfull images. And they suit Penny and Celia, another coulourfull, ballsy, funny and frightfullly creative duo who just started their own company, The Girls (tm) just perfectly.

Photographer Karen Rosetzsky was born in Denmark, but moved to the Netherlands when she fell in love with (and later on got married to) a Dutch guy. Lucky for us, because now we can enjoy her beautiful images to dream away on. They remind me of warm, romatic holidays. They are romantic and femine, but always with a nice edge.

Virginie Besançon

One of the things that I'm looking forward to when I go to the south of France this summer, is meeting Virginie Besançon again. I made a cook book with her a few years ago (see below), and she is a lovely, colorfull and inspirational person. Originally she is a costume designer, and she still does some designs for theater groups. And she joined a theatre group and circus to cook for them twice a day, every summer. Only because of all the work an admirable job! And then she still finds the time and energy to make beautiful pictures of her 'everiday life' with the theatre group.

Paul Barbera, again

You can see in Paul's work that he loves how people work, live and create. And I love how he is a contemporary master of light.

Paul In Holland

Paul Barbera, the photographer from Australia that I wrote about earlier, is in the Netherlands again. I can't wait to work with him again. That counts for other people, because he's flying to Milan for the design fair on monday. But after that, I hope to do some work with him. Here's some examples from his beautiful work, that you can also find on his website where they create (see my links).
