Last summer, I visited the exhibition "Lothar Wolleh sees Jan Schoonhoven" at museum De Prinsenhof in Delft. This was my first introduction to the work of Lothar Wolleh (1930-1979). Wolleh is best known for his characterful portraits of avant-garde artists from the 1960s. His photographs's, taken with a Hasselblad camera, are always square, in black and white and with a thick black border. His work is also characterised by the use of strong contrasts. Wolleh was a friend of Delft artist Jan Schoonhoven and regularly visited him in his home town Delft. The portraits Wolleh made of Schoonhoven in Delft are the subject of an exhibition in De Prinsenhof. The exhibition and the accompanying photo competition (no, I did not win anything) gave me the idea of making a series of photographs of Delft, inspired by the portraits of Jan Schoonhoven that Lothar Wolleh made in Delft. Instead of portraits, I made street photo's with casual passers-by as extras. In this picture, a woman wearing a white hat walks through the Oostpoort in Delft.
