About Frank van Es
I photograph to visualise the power of simplicity and stillness. My images arise from a fascination with lines, light and the space in between. I look for moments in which the everyday - a street, a building, an object - reveals something special as soon as you consciously look at it.
Emptiness and contrast are defining elements in my work. The play of shadows and reflections, the use of symmetry and sometimes almost abstract compositions give my pictures a layered atmosphere. I like images that do not reveal everything, but invite the viewer to look longer and find meaning for themselves.
My portfolio shows that I like to work with calm colours or, on the contrary, powerful black and white, often with an emphasis on textures and atmosphere. This balance between calm and tension makes my photography recognisable.
As a teacher and photographer, I want to show how valuable it is to look differently. My work invites you to stand still, see anew and discover the beauty of ordinary moments.
