About De Kunstmaker

My passion for abstract photography was sparked after training in that direction at the Academy of Abstract Photography with Iris Depassé. I always saw different things and things differently from most people around me. Iris taught me how to make that into a photograph.

Abstract photography is about perceiving differently, seeing your reality and then capturing that in such a way that your perfect reality is created in the photograph.

When I see something interesting, I try to photograph it in such a way that existing reality is abstracted. Then I create my own reality by editing the photo. Some photos are a direct reproduction of what is already there but put differently. Other photos need minimal adjustment to the image I want. Sometimes I use multiple photos and make more use of the possibilities in Photoshop.
