Artist’s Statement

I am an enthusiastic photographer of life, people, nature, land- and sea-scapes, pollution and more.


Photography for me is a way of trying to bring out “moments” such that the image reveals a kind of beauty and emotions that people don’t often see nor are aware of, ordinarily.








To watch subjects through a lens forces you to isolate it but what is most important, at that instance, is to be conscious of what makes your shot not just a “picture” but an “image”. 


So, I am patient enough to watch what is happening around me before I shoot. Actually, what I have observed is that behind my camera I am a totally different person.



 


 We look forward to Willems Seascape and Landscape Photography at the ARTMIABO INTERNATIONAL ART FESTIVAL, LAGOS NIGERIA, 2022, 29TH APRIL - 1ST MAY 2022.
